Hi! My name is Janet and I'm a teacher in the USA. I have 4th and 5th grade social studies students who are 10 and 11 years old.
I would love to share teaching ideas with you. A colleague and I are trying to get a grant so that we can travel to Australia in May. We would like to get to know some teachers through email...share ideas and then come and visit their classrooms in person.
Four years ago, I visited several classrooms in the Czech Republic on a teacher exchange and I just loved it. Since that time, I have been wanting to tour other countries and visit their schools too.
Would you be interested in exchanging classroom projects and ideas? I'm sure that several of my students would love to be pen pals with some of your students too, unless you've already put restrictions on them! :-)
Thank you so much for your time! Let me know if you are interested in sharing any classroom ideas!
Janet
