Susan Nixon 2nd Grade Phoenix, AZ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: Pen Pals From: "Susan Nixon" <susan@desertskyone.com> Date: Sat, 28 Aug 1999 17:25:07 -0700 In the spirit of keeping the 6Traits list and website updated and useful for list members, and bearing in mind that penpals are an authentic = purpose for writing, I have decided to make this offer. Read carefully before responding. There *are* some catches. If you would like a penpal class, and: (catch) would be willing to commit to exchanging information at least 6 times during the year; (catch) would be willing to exchange information, brochures, etc. about your geographic area; (no catch) could e-mail for 2-4 of the 6 exchanges, *if you wish*; then, send me the following: Your name grade level school name and address e-mail address grade level or levels you would consider matching whether or not you are interested in having a travel buddy exchange (stuffed animal, with journal in which your class writes, to be returned = to originating class in 2-4 months) a short message about your school and class. Classes in other countries are encouraged to match with U.S. countries. = It takes a bit of organizing, since we don't have the same school year, but = it can work. mailto:susan@desertskyone.com I will post the entries on the *website*. When you match someone and arrange to exchange letters, you must let me know so I can remove your = name from the page. Acceptable? Want to? Don't want to? Hate the idea? Think I left out something important?
