Postcards from Our Class: Meet Our New Pen Pal Friends

Students sit in a circle, say their name, and share one favorite thing, while the teacher introduces the partner class and the idea of writing postcards to new friends.

Students draw and write short sentences about their family, favorite things, and daily life on a postcard, then exchange finished postcards with the partner class.

Students read the postcards received from the partner class in small groups, find things that are the same or different, and draw a picture of one new thing they learned.

Students show their own postcard and one postcard they received, telling the class one thing they noticed and how they feel about their new pen pal.
