Last week, my 4th grade students skyped with another 4th grade class in Middleton, Pennsylvania. We had paired up through the guidance counselor at the school in Pennsylvania who is an alum of Mazapan School. She was looking to do an interactive activity with students from her school so they could learn more about a different part of the world. We ended up becoming pen pals with this class and my students wrote a few letters back and forth before we had our skype session. It lasted an hour long and each student got to talk with their pen pal one on one for a few minutes to ask them some questions. The cool thing however was that the local newspaper ended up writing a piece on the activity! Take a look...(click on the image to make it bigger)
