: : I'm not sure how many of the readers here are teachers, or maybe know teachers, but I've got a group of junior high kids who are looking for pen pals in the US. Even if you don't know jr high, if you can come close...these kids are 7th grade, so 6th grade kids up through lower high school would work out.
: : I'd appreciate it if you could pass this along to anyone you know who might not see the board.
: : Thanks.
: Some of my sixth graders would probably go for this. How do we go about setting it up?
If you can send me names and addresses, I'll have my kids write to yours, and that will be it. Of course, they'll probably need some follow up to make sure they keep responding to each other, but that shouldn't be a big deal. I'll also check with them about email pals. This is faster, but alot of my kids may not have computers. I know that sounds strange in Japan, but it's the truth, we're a LONG way from the stereotypical techno Japanese you might find in the big cities.
From this point on, why don't we take the discussion to private email. I'll copy this to you as well.
