We made contact with a Long Island (New > York) Hebrew School and began a pen-pal correspondence which, so far, has > proven to be most successful. The children write to each other in English > (with our help) and we have used the opportunity to teach how to write a > friendly letter and work on general writing skills. In their letters, the > children ask questions, tell about themselves, and learn about life in the > different countries. Some have even exchanged pictures, and even we, the > teachers, are writing to our colleagues in that school. The only mistake > we made was to start the project too late in the year (January). This new > school year, we will start the project almost immediately. > > With the advent of summer vacation, the kids are on their own, but we have > no doubt that at least some of these new friendships will stand the test of > (summer) time. > > > Happy Summer Vacation, > Ilana Getz > Reena Madar > Reut School > Ramlah ##### To send a message to the ETNI list email: etni@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ##### ##### Send queries and questions to: ask@xxxxxxxx #####
