My rural second grade classroom would like to do an exchange with an urban school and suburban school within the United States. We are in upstate New York.

I would like students to practice writing letters about our rural community and send them to our pen pals. We would like to learn from other 2nd grade students, about what life is like in urban and suburban communities. This is to help meet our state standards in a fun and meaningful way. Let's start soon. It would be a lot of fun for all involved!!

Hi Sandra!

I would be interested, however.. I have 21 students in my room. I could see if the class next door to me is willing, however they have 22 students. I am not sure how well our match would be... let me know if you have any suggestions. Thanks!

Hello,
We are a second grade school in Queens Village New York and are also looking for another second grade class to correspond with to complement our social studies curriculum. Upstate New York is perfect because you are a rural area and we would learn much form you. If interrested e-mail me at vbatall@yahoo.com.
Looking foward to hearing from you Virginia
