Never got a penpal in another country to write back? Here’s another chance. I got an email this week from a teacher in Ukraine who is looking for American students to match with her class. Many you have already written a letter that you could adapt to send here. So, if you still want a penpal, keep reading. These students are eagerly awaiting responses!
Here’s the message that I received from the teacher:
Dear colleague: My name is Anna. I teach 10-12 year olds. My fourth graders were extremely excited and amazed about pen pals from the USA. Thank you for the opportunity to email you. I am sending you a recent photo of my students. They are very talented and creative. Thank you so much for reaching out. I hope your students will enjoy hearing back from their pen pals. Hope to hear from you soon. Yours sincerely, Anna Ukhan, First City Gymnasia, Cherkasy, Ukraine

Hi. I will be starting 5th grade this year at Innovation Academy Charter School. I would like to be a pen pal but I don’t have a google docs account yet. Can I still be a pen pal? Thank you.
Hi William. Sure! Have one of your parents email me (skrakauer@innovationcharter.org) and we can make the arrangements. Also, you’ll need to let me know which person you’d like to write to (and maybe a back up choice in case another IACS student already asked for your first choice). Thank you for following my blog. Looking forward to meeting you in the fall!
