Today was our first day of writing back and forth with our pen pals. We have been assigned four pen pals, mostly from the U.S., but some from other countries.
We wrote a general message to all four pen pals. Then we took screen shots of that message and posted it on this blog post.
We wrote back to individual students who already had written us. We took screen shots of their message and our reply and posted them on this blog post.
On the right is the way we will be assessed during these activities. In order to keep doing PenPalSchools, we need to be "Advanced" in all the categories. We can help each other get there, but we must get there!
