Mrs. Weeg's computer students from Ms. Hackett's first grade wrote thank you letters to Hilda and Eygló who came to visit us from Iceland in March, 2001. "Takk Fyrir að koma í skólann okkar." means "Thank you for coming to our school." "Við söknum ykkar." means "We miss you."

Dear Hilda and Eygló,
Takk Fyrir að koma í skólann okkar. Við söknum ykkar. I liked to hear you talk about the flag. We have the same colors on our flag - red, white, and blue. Our US flag has stars and your flag doesn't.

Dear Hilda and Eygló,
Takk fyrir aó koma í skólann okkar. Við söknum ykkar. I liked to hear you talk about the flag . Your flag has blue for the sky and the ocean. It has red for fire of the volcanoes. It has white for the ice and snow.
