IB Spanish Exchange

To Whom It May Concern:
My name is Rocio Horzepa and I am a Spanish IB teacher at Linden High School in Linden, New Jersey, USA, a secondary school located about a half an hour away from New York City. The purpose of my e-mail is to make contact with a sister IB school in Spain to initiate an international exchange program.
In our school, exchange programs are highly regarded and are currently in existence with Italy, Germany, China, and France. This program promotes friendship at a global scale in the true spirit of the International Baccalaureate program. Therefore we would be interesting in creating a Spanish exchange for the school year 2012-2013 with Madrid, Barcelona, Santander, Cadiz, or Malaga.
I would greatly appreciate a response to my proposition as soon as possible, whether or not you would be interested in participating in this wonderful, once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Sincerely,
Mrs. Rocio Horzepa

Gr 4-5 Global Awareness

I will be reading the book, "The Green Book" with my students in the Spring and would love to read it with another classroom. There are many projects to research and develop as part of comprehending the book, but I am mainly interested in learning about how migrations effect the world and its population.

Gr1 Shared Digital Storytelling

I am looking for 1st grade classes that are willing to help us create digital stories.
My first grade students will create the beginning, another class will create the middle, and a third class will create the end of the story.


Each student will draw a digital picture and record their voice telling their part of their story.
The teachers will then send the story on to the next class where their students will add their piece of the story.
This will be done one more time to add the ending until there is a complete story.
Students can then meet and share their stories and experiences with the classes.

Any digital drawing program that can export and image will work; the same is true with the voice recording. I can be help the schools decide programs to use if needed.

Gr 4-8 African American History Quest

We would like to collaborate with a school outside the state of Texas to learn more about African Americans who have made significant contributions to your communities. We would like to do this as a "Guess Who?" type activity where students give clues and give the other school an opportunity to guess who the person is that is being described. We could also create a jeopardy game for trivia questions, or showcase our creative talents with the collaborating school(s).
