Australian Pen Pal Letters!
We received a big package from the students at Campbell Street Primary School in Tasmania, Australia! The fourth grade students wrote letters to Mr. Kruger's 3rd and 4th grade class a month ago. We were delighted to get letters back from Australia! My class could not stop reading them and were delighted to learn about their lives. We especially liked learning about the sports kids play and watch in Australia- specifically Footy and Cricket! Thank you for the letters Campbell Street Primary School! We will write back this week!
