Global Communities

I had a hard time finding exactly what I was looking for so, I read over others blogs and liked what I found on Joy's blog about epals. I went to look for a group by map and came across a classroom of 8 from Kazakstan, this is what their post says: "Hello! We are enthusiastic 4th graders from Kazakhstan! We are 8 great kids, 3 of whom are ELL and the rest are either native or native-fluent speakers of English. All of us are willing to collaborate with kids of our age from all over the world on various projects. We would love to communicate through emails (due to time zone differences) on a weekly basis. Hope to hear from you soon!"

I think it would be awesome to have a classroom pen pal from a different country. When I was in 4th grade we had penpals from Queensland Australia. That was a lot of fun. I even stayed in touch with my pen pal after school was out for a few months then we lost touch. It was a lot of fun to learn about different countries and how their school system works. If I remember correctly, they go to school all year round and have breaks every so often. NO THANK YOU!!
Anyway, that is what I found!
