PEN PALS- continuing throughout the year!
Our fifth grade class is partaking in a pen pal exchange with students across the world in rural France as they learn English. As our pen pal friends practice their English through this exchange, we will continue to practice our writing skills while learning about another culture and way of living and thinking across the world.
This exchange ties into our classroom focus on tolerance at Barron and some of our cultural expectations as a school. My hope is that each fifth grader will continue to be exposed to other ways of thinking, living and speaking in our global world by connecting with a student across the world.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions about this project.
