We have pen pals that we are corresponding with this year! They live all the way in Hephzibah, Georgia (outside of Augusta)! We wrote our first letters to them this week and attached a picture of ourselves with our letter. We cannot wait to get our first letter back from them!
Last year, our class did this project and it was so interesting to learn about students in another state. The teacher of their class, Mrs. Tomekia Darrisaw, I met last summer while attending the Mickelson Exxon Mobil Teacher's Academy in New York. That trip was amazing- I learned so many new things and met a lot of great educators from across the United States!
This year long project ties right in to our Core Standards in learning the parts of friendly letters. We'll keep you posted on our project throughout the school year!
