Hi....last Friday, my students sent the first email to their epals from New Zealand. Thank you so much to Kathy who came in to my classroom to help the students accomplish this task. It was a little crazy, but thank goodness for Kathy! We have not heard any responses back yet. I did speak with my contact teacher in New Zealand. She explained to me that they only have three computers so it may take them a little while to get back to us. The students are very excited to be epals with students from another country and they are eager to get responses back. In the meantime, we have been doing some research on New Zealand.
In class this week, Kim and I have been working on creating rubrics for our epals project as well as creating a survey for the students to fill out. We will be working on the lesson plan and adding the common core standards soon.
