Keypal Connections 1999/2000

We have wonderful keypals! We keypal with Mrs. Hinshaw's 4/5 classroom in Bellingham, WA. and Mr. Debertin's 4th grade class in Marysville, WA. We really enjoy sending and receiving email from our keypals. We do it as often as we can. All that writing really helps us learn to be better writers, and we find out that if we don't explain things well our keypal has to ask questions. So we learn to write our thoughts more clearly in a real life application, which is one of Washington's Essential Academic Learning Requirements.

Writing Essential Learning 1: The student writes clearly and effectively.
We particularly like discussing online projects! We use our classroom web pages as a "Virtual Classroom" where we can share our work. It is so exciting that we can put something online and our keypals can see it immediately!!!
 
Writing Essential Learning 2: The student writes in a variety of forms for different audiences and purposes.
