Hi, I am a teacher of LD students in 7th grade in Muncie, Indiana. I will have about 15 students in a resource setting. Am interested in getting these students connected with a pen pal in the U.S. Is there a teacher interested in connecting with me? I think it would be fun to share information about our cities and our schools. We can send digitized pictures and could even send a video, if you are interested. I am open to ideas. I teach in an inner city school and our achievement level is rather low. Several of my students have a great deal of difficulty reading and come from difficult home backgrounds. Please respond only if you are seriously interested in having your students correspond. Thanks.

Re: Pen Pals
Peggy,
If I can get at least 2 computers upgraded, I would love to have my students email your kids. I have several students in mind. I wouldn’t have 15; not enough computers, time, or teachers.
I think if I approach my principal and/or superintendent with this idea of pen pals, they may buy into the need of improving my ancient computers!
