Pen Pals in Germany
Hello all 104 families,
One of my former colleagues, Ms. Alexander, is currently
teaching English to college students in Germany. We are going to start a pen
pal program in which students exchange letters with the German students and
skype as a whole class. This will be a wonderful opportunity for students to
learn about the culture and customs of another country, and it gives them an
authentic reason for improving their writing. In addition, the students will be
teaching the German students about Chicago and about English.
Ms. Alexander has created a presentation for our class,
which you may view on our class blog: room104reading.blogspot.com.
I
will review all letters as they are emailed to me first, and I will also review
all letters that we send to the other school. No personal information will be
shared other than the student’s first name.
Please check one below:
________ Yes, I give my child permission to
participate fully in the pen pal program.
________ No, I would not
like my child to participate. Students that do not participate will work on
grammar.
Thank you for your time.
Please send back all forms by Tuesday, January
22.
