I am a 6th grade middle school special education teacher in
Ozone Park Queens, NY. I would like to start on a small scale
and begin a pen pal writing project. Having students from
Chinatown and Queens corresponding may seem too small but it
may just be the right way to start for me. Please respond if
you are interested.
