Grade K: Country Mice meet City Mice

Description:	We are a rural classroom of students who is looking to connect with a kindergarten class in NYC that is willing to be Pen Pals via letter writing as well as through the POLYCOM virtual field trip equipment. This class relationship would be year long, connecting via the virtual field trip periodically throughout the year. We would like to explore the differences in transportation, homes, parks, lifestyles, and possibly different cultural experiences between the students. We have approximately 17 students in our classroom. We are excited at the possibility to share our rural lifestyle with students who are willing to explore similarities and differences with us.
