Description:As part of our character education program at Cornwall Elementary School, located in Cornwall, New York, we are looking for an elementary school located in the Gulf Shores whom have been affected by the BP oil spill.
There are many areas of curriculum that we would like to cover such as; civics, science, history, and culture, as part of our character education program. Our school is proud of our Kids Helping Kids program. As a part of our mission this school year we want to make friends and help our new friends out by holding fundraising events to supply your school/classrooms with needed items. This can all begin with friendly letters by handwriting and emailing (if possible). Besides the civic component we also would like to compare/contrast our ecosystem with yours, as well as learn about each other’s cultures. Throughout this project the children would like to visit their new friends via video conferencing, if possible. Our different grade levels would like to start this as soon as possible! We foresee this project running throughout the entire school year.
Dates:Mid-January 2011 to June 30th
