A Teddy Bear named Misha is on his way to our class from students in Krasnoyark, Siberia!
Misha or Миша is a famous Russian name, short for the name Mikhail (Michael). A nickname for Misha is Mishka. This name is very similar to the Russian word for a bear, медведь (medved).

Teacher Irina says, "My kids are really friendly. I like spending time with the students in the park or forest. I usually do it once a month. We have amazing nature. So breathing the fresh air and having fun with classmates is the best time ever!"
