Grade 5 Pen Pals

“We are a large k-12 school district in NJ, about 20 minutes south of Philadelphia Pa. We are looking for classes around the country to participate in ePen Pal projects with some of the elementary schools in our district. We would like to write letters and send them through US mail and meet a few times during the school year through video conferences. Those exchanges can be decided by the participating teachers. I have openings for 5th grade. Best times for connecting with video conferencing would be between 12:45 and 3:30 Eastern Time.
