Tips for Designing a Successful Pen Pal Program

Tuesday July 15, 2008
Once you've visited our Forum and matched up with a partner Pen Pal class, it's time to think about how you will design and implement your program in order to maximize fun, results, and efficiency.

The key to making Pen Pals a helpful teaching tool in your classroom, and minimizing the hassle, lies in understanding the key elements of designing a Pen Pal program, being organized, and communicating clearly with your partner teacher. Also, keep up your end of the bargain by honoring your commitments. Well run, a Pen Pal program will teach your students a world of relevant lessons - on topics ranging from Language Arts, Social Studies, Geography, and more!

That is one of the main reasons people start consider working at home;being your own boss. But with that title comes the responsibility of making sure that the job gets done. That may sound easy but trust me when I say there are days that it is a struggle to do what needs to be done. Do you want to earn Rs. 5000 or more…….. visit our site http://www.fastextraincome.com

Beth,

I teach elementary technology and I wonder if you or any readers know of a good online email for the kids to use for a penpal program. I would use only with 4th grade (K-4 building) in the spring of the academic year. I looked last year and couldn’t wade through some of the processes!

Thanks,
Cosie
