Courtney's+Comprehension+Cafe

Hello, My name is Courtney Halstead and I teach third grade at Oakvale Elementary. I love traveling and being outdoors. I have been to France, Italy, Austria, Hungry, Romania, Switzerland, the Bahamas, and Hawaii. I enjoy hiking, kayaking, swimming, and rafting. I love to read about nature and different cultures. One of my favorite books is Island of Blue Dolphins.

Hi Courtney, I have also travelled a great deal. I have been to Spain, Africa, Italy (my favorite), London, England (my second favorite), Hawaii, and Bermuda. In Bermuda I swam with the dolphins. What an experience that was. I loved it. I have also travelled to many islands in the Carribbean but half of the time, the waters were so rough, we couldn't get off the ship. My favorite island was Antigua. Terri Houck

I would love to travel to London! What places do you recommend I visit if I ever get to go there? Katie

Dear Courtney, I love the outdoors too! I've been to Washingotn, D. C., New York, South Carolina, Abingdon, Richmond, VA Beach, Rich Creek, Wytheville, and Hungry Mother. I might be going to Disneyland or Dollywood or Hungry Mother (again). I know I'm definitely goint to South Carolina. My grandparents live there. (It's my dad's mom and step-dad). Is there a specific animal that makes you like the outdoors or do you just like it? I love the outdoors! ~ Eden Eden, What part of South Carolina do you visit? I lived in Aiken, SC for about 10 years. Cynthia

I read what you put and I thought that was really cool that you have been to all of those places. My grandmother is originally from Paris, France and my friend Daisy her grandfather is from Italy. As I was getting ready to say my favorite book is Ida. B. From Heather
