Thank you for participating in the blog and writing the penpal letters. It was fun! Here are some pictures of us and of a special event at our school called “Knight of Excellence”. On this night we display our best work for our parents and community. Have a nice summer!
I hope that everyone enjoyed receiving letters from their pen pals. I want to leave the English blog open for students to reach out and respond to the letters. Maybe you might want the chance to answer a question from your letter, or maybe there is something you found interesting about your new friend that you would like to comment about?
Is anyone interested in creating a chat room to continue talking to one another? I am looking into how to do this and what I would need is a private email address to invite you. That way you could practice conversing in both languages live via the computer. Please indicate if you are interested and provide an email address for me to invite you. Thanks! This is not an obligation or a graded part of the course.
