My grade 2s and I recently recieved an
exciting package in the mail and set about comparing the work of their American buddies with their own. Here are some of our favourite trading cards from the U.S and some important differences we learned about the different places in which we live...Again, big thanks to Nichole from
Mini Matisse for making this happen.

| We call these 'petrol stations' and 'primary school'. |
Our playgrounds look like this but our football is a very different game.

| We call marker pens 'textas' in Australia and we spell 'colour' differently. |
We've never seen a coyote. And we write the date day/month/year.

| Thanks Rogers! It was fun to see where you live. |
