To all the other teachers out there....

Hi, sorry to hijack the forum like this but my school are trying to gain an 'International School Links' award and one of the criteria is that our pupils make contact with pupils in other countries, in the form of pen-pals. During a staff mtg someone said that it was a shame that we didn't know any teachers who might be interested from the USA and I thought of you guys! So, if anyone teaches children aged between 9 - 13 and would be interested in setting this up, please let me know.

Thanks

what a great idea..... i will ask at school!

My Brownie troop of 6-7 year olds would love to have pen pals from England or anywhere!!!! If you are interested or know of another teacher inyour school or your local Brownie troop with similar age children, that want to exchange letters, please let me know. I Think it would be great for all of them.....
There are 10 in our troop and 11 in another troop.... total of 21 girls

A friend is a Scout/Cub leader so she might be able to help. If not, I can try our feeder primary schools

Great!!!! Please let me know if they want to do it! and then we can exchagne info/names and addresses!!!!!

[sdale1227]

By the way do you want me to ask at my school if the want to take part with you.... that would be 4th-8th grade correct?

[tasha36]

I think so...our grades (year groups) are slightly different to yours but that sounds about right.

[sdale1227]

how many children are we talking about??? so I can ask the teachers?

[Disneynut57]

I teach some students in that age group in a small private school here in Fort Myers Florida would liek me to ask them if they woudl be intrested

[tasha36]

That would be great. I have a group of 20 pupils, aged 9 - 13, boys and girls, looking for penpals. Let me know if you think we could have some matches!

Still looking for someone to help with this!!
