We would love to do projects, exchange pictures, cartoons, letters, and e-mails with your classes; maybe we could even do a video! My kindergarten – 2nd grade classes don’t read or write Spanish, they just speak and sing. They sing and dance and could draw posters and pictures to send. My 3rd grade classes are starting to write and read French and Spanish. So, we could write simple letters to one another and send pictures, or do more complex projects. My students have been learning about French and Spanish speaking countries and cultures, and would be thrilled to make contact with real Spanish and French speaking students their own ages. I hope that I can find some classes who would like to meet some American students learning these languages. Thank you.
