Canada-Community/Country Exchange

I will be teaching either grade 3/4 or grade 6 next year. I would like to connect with a classroom from anyplace other then in Canada to do an exchange with. By exchange I mean you create a book, binder or duo tang of some sort. Inside put anything about your area. Climate, topography, economic diversity, cultures, sports, anything. I did this a few years back with kids and they atee it up. We took pictures of our community and sent maps and so much more. We in return got a package and went through it. If there is enough interest we can do a ring. Let me know if you are interested and where you are from. Once I get enought interest I will set something up.

Lynn Searle from OC CA Hi Everyone!

Theresa, Debbie and I are participating in a scrapbook and mascot exchange and have room for a couple of others. We are upper grade and would like to keep to that so that the kids themselves will be putting everything together.

It looks like there may be two groups, so make sure you email either Theresa or myself AS...See More
