Pandemic pen pals: learning to connect despite distance.
Help me give my students supplies to help them connect beyond the screen
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Solano's classroom raised $349
This project is fully funded
Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
My students are unique in their personalities and background but deeply connected in their commitment to learning more about the world and discovering their role in it.
My students are active learners invested in working together in creative ways to share what they are learning and truly teach others.
They share a deep interest in the world and make the most of every learning activity I provide to them, and even better they work together to create their own enriching experiences.
My Project
Due to the pandemic my students and I are learning virtually. They have taken on this challenge with positive attitudes, creativity, flexibility, and a resilience that gives me the strength and motivation to make the most of the online platform. Together we have learned a lot of technology, but still find we are missing the social connections are a crucial part of education. That is why I want to give them tools to write to each other. Throughout history sending and receiving letters has been a simple yet powerful way to stay connected with loved ones. While they can send emails, there is nothing like seeing a letter addressed to you in the mailbox and I want to give my students opportunity to have that joy and provide it for their classmates.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
