Mexico

First graders are learning about Mexico and our class began our "pen pal" exchange with a first grade class in Monterrey today! As a whole class we exchanged an email introducing ourselves and attaching a few photos of ourselves in our classrooms. It was wonderful for the students in our class to be able to look at the photos of the class in Monterrey and compare/contrast what they noticed about first grade here vs. there. We emailed a few questions to them today and will continue to correspond with them over the next month and a half. This would be a wonderful thing to ask your child about at home, helping them compare and contrast our cultures and generate questions they would like to ask the other class! By the end of the week our two classes plan to exchange short videos so we can see and hear the each other "in action!" We plan to Skype in early April after we have learned more about Mexico!
