Date Pen Pal Progress
Oct. 14, 2004  Students mailed their first letters to Indiana and are anxiously awaiting a reply.
Oct. 19, 2004 The first letter from our Indiana pen pals arrived today and boy, were the students excited!  
Oct. 20, 2004 We began a project to send our pen pals called "The Monster Project".  We will draw a monster and then describe it in detail.  We will then send the description to our pen pals and they will draw our monster based on our description.  They will send us their drawings of our monsters and we will post both drawings on our website, side by side.  
November 2, 2004 All of our monster project descriptions are now posted on our website and our pen pals in Indiana will try to draw the monsters our students described. 
November 19, 2004 Look at our website to see both sets of monster pictures and the description posted side by side!  That was a fun project!
December 17, 2004 We mailed holiday letters that students word processed & added borders & formatting to.
January 2005 Our pen pals' descriptions are now posted on their website!  See how our students did drawing their Indiana pen pals' monsters.
June 1, 2005 We got a letter from Mr. Holt's class saying good bye because their last day of school is coming near.  We wrote a letter back and sent a photo of us.  It was fun being pen pals this year.
