Hi - I just received some exciting news....our epals from New Zealand are starting to respond! Each letter is coming directly into my epals account and I will be printing the letters for the students. Our students are not able to have their own epal account.
The letters are great! I think my students are going to be thrilled to receive them. So far the six students from New Zealand that have responded already have talked about living on farms with 3,000 sheep and going to the farmer's market to sell eggs and crops on Sundays. Because I have only received six letters, I am going to wait a few days to see if more letters come in and then I will distribute to the students.
Also, I have plans with Kathy to come into my classroom to work with the students on google earth. They will be able to see the small town in New Zealand where the students attend school. She has showed it to me and it is so neat. We are able to see the small fire house, post office, their beach, etc. I am looking forward to my students seeing this.
