Greetings!
I am a sixth grade English Language Arts teacher in Lawrence, MA, USA. I teach primarily English Language Learners, and I am seeking an international pen pal partnership with students of similar age anywhere in the world!
I have around 45 students who will be participating in two classes. During the first week of October, we will have written personal narrative essays to send via email to a "sister" classroom. Are you the teacher of the class we're looking for?
I also could be interested in a year-long partnership as my students continue to write and explore global history.
Reply if you're interested, and we'll get the partnership going!

Hi Colin,
We're a school in Castlemaine, Victoria, Australia, and would be interested in doing something. Would you consider, instead of emailing, posting on our Writer's Club (http://thenorthschool.com/writersclub) and share with five schools around Victoria? If not, we can do something on a smaller scale.
Let me know if you're interested.
Cheers,
Rob.

Hi Rob,
Thanks for your reply! I looked at the writer's club website, and it looks like a great site for sharing writing!
What I'd like to do with my students, at least for their first time doing pen pal letters, is have a more personal letter exchange with students at your school. It could be a one-time exchange, or even turn into a multiple-letter pen pal series during the year. What do you think?
