In Spanish class, our students in 4th grade have recently started a unit of learning about Latin
American countries. This year, we have also been working really hard to promote writing in Spanish as
well. In an effort to extend both of these areas of learning, we are going to be beginning a written
exchange program (Pen Pals) with students of a similar age in a small town in Mexico. Our students just
finished learning about this country so this will be a very special opportunity to see their learning come
to life outside of the classroom.
Students will be writing in Spanish about simple topics that we will cover or have already
learned about in class such as a quick introduction about who they are, family, and the city of Houston.
Students will only be sharing first names (no last names) with their pen pals and I will be checking their
writing before mailing it out. Students should also be receiving letters from their pen pals in the next
couple of weeks.
If you have any concerns or questions about this activity, I would be happy to answer them and
have included my phone number and email below. Thank you for your support!
