I would love to connect with another classroom this new school year and write pen pal letters. My students last year had pen pals and they really enjoyed exchanging letters. I'm not sure if either of you have made plans; if not please feel free to email. I'm assuming I'll have 20 - 25 students this year; won't be sure until August.
