Meet our Pen Pal, Danielle!

Danielle and 3 of her students
Our class has a pen pal this year! Her name is Danielle and she is a Peace Corps volunteer in Cambodia. Danielle is originally from Massachusetts and has been teaching in Cambodia and working in an orphanage. We've been sending letters and pictures back and forth and so far we've learned about the weather in Cambodia, transportation in Cambodia, schools in Cambodia, what houses are like in Cambodia, and we even saw a picture of an elephant that walked through Danielle's village!

Last week our class worked together in groups of two or three students to write a paragraph in a letter to Danielle and create an illustration to go with that paragraph. We wrote about our specials, recess, our classroom, our teachers, and what lunch is like in our school.  Here are a couple of the pictures we sent Danielle:

The blacktop and playground at Floral Street School.



Media time with Mrs. Andreano.
We will share some other pictures that we drew with you later!
