Fifth graders received the names of their Mexican pen pals at Escuela Urbana 889 in Guadalajara. Each HES student wrote a letter to a pen pal using Spanish and English. These letters were mailed off in December. We are hopeful that we will soon receive letters in return. I am very impressed with the thoughtfulness and effort our students put into writing their letters.
In class we were able to look at our pen pals' school via Google Earth and our classroom SmartBoard. It was very interesting to compare the building, neighborhood, and cityscape with our own Hartland Elementary School area. We have lots of questions about Guadalajara that we hope our pen pals can answer for us.
Stay tuned for more!
