Seeking a junior high school (grade 7-9) class that can pan pal with my students in Japan

Hi all.

I'm looking for English-speaking pen pals for my Jr. high-
school students. The children are in grades 7, 8 and 9 and
will be writing their letters in English. English is their second language. So if there are classes out there studying Japanese as a second language, we could exchange in the language that they're learning to improve their writing skills.

If any of your classes are suitable, please let me know.

Regards,

Keener

Hi Keener,

My name is Heather and I am a math teacher in Michigan, USA.  I have about 90 9th graders that I would love to get involved with being pen pals.  I would love to have them learn about a new culture and learn about how your school system differs from ours.  Please feel free to contact me anytime and we can work out the details.

I look forward to hearing from you,

Heather

Good evening,

I am an administrator at a Junior High School in Strathmore Alberta Canada. We are currently seeking Global partnerships with other Junior High schools abroad. We would Love to partner with you and begin our connection with "pen pal" correspondence but also we would be interested in sharing ideas and further developing our Worldview. The grade 8 Social Studies Curriculum has a major focus on Japan- the culture and the people-- we could learn so much from you :)

 

We would be happy to exchange letters, emails starting in the New Year.

 

 my email is- linda.tucker@ghsd75.ca    my school website is www. cmjhs.com

 

If you are interested in partnering with a Canadian school- we are keen!!

 

Thanks,

 Linda
