An American Correspondence

As a part of English class, we thought it would be fun to incorporate some sort of pen-pal type assignment with our girls with somewhere in the States. After talking with the Spanish teacher at Portland Adventist Academy, we were able to get this endeavor started. The Spanish Level II class has been corresponding with our girls now for the last month or so. Both groups have been meticulously decorating their letters, and writing in both Spanish and English. This has been an incredible learning opportunity for our girls, while making English a little more fun. Our girls are beginning to pick up on some phrases, and now with their correspondences, they are beginning to learn questions and answers. It sounds simple, but it is HUGE for our girls. Thank you PAA, we look forward to more letters.
