Bet you thought you were done hearing from me! I hope you've had a great start to your summer.
I'm am writing to see if anyone is interested in helping their child be a pen pal to a young French girl.
Quick back story:
When I was in high school, I went on an exchange to France. Though we have only visited each other a handful of times, my exchange partner, Anne-Cécile, and I have remained good friends all these years by writing old school letters back and forth. She now has a lovely daughter, Lalie, who is the same age as your almost grade two students.
Anne-Cécile is interested in finding a pen pal for Lalie and she asked if one of my students would be interested. This would be a great opportunity to practice writing in French with a purpose and make a new friend. Who knows where this could lead?
Lalie does not speak English, so all correspondence would need to be in French, but no worries if there are a few English words here and there, Anne-Cécile will understand. If this sounds interesting to you, please email me. I'll get you a picture so you know who you're writing to, and get you started. When school starts again, I'd love to help with the letter writing.
Thanks for continuing to check the blog and hope to hear from you!
