Hi,

I teach English at a trilingual (Portuguese-English-Hebrew) school in Brazil.

We're starting a unit of inquiry entitled "Schools" and one topic will be comparing schools around the world.

We are hoping to partner with a first grade class or classes from abroad to videoconference on Skype.

My students' grade level (called G2) is equivalent to first grade in the US; the students are 6-7 years old. We have 3 such classes with about 18 students per class.

We would like for each of these classes to be able to pair up with a class of like-aged students from a school elsewhere in the world, to ask and answer each other's questions about what their school is like.

If you'd be interested & if your IT systems are up to the task, we'd would love to discuss the possibility. (I have contacts in NYC schools I had originally planned to ask, but schools there typically have internet firewalls that don't allow them to use Skype.)

Kevin Hi Daniel,

That sounds very cool. I will check with our tech people to see if we can join you. I should know sometime this week. I think it would be fun for my first graders.

Daniel Kevin,

Great! I look forward to hearing whether it may be possible.

Where are you located?

Best regards,
