Ohio Pen Pals Update: They've got mail!!


Miss Thurin emailed me today and let me know that her class got our envelope! They are very, very excited to be our pen pals. What makes this so interesting is that they are very far away and they are different from us!

They wrote their rough drafts today at school. Tonight Miss Thurin is correcting them so that her students can write their final copies in the morning at school. Miss Thurin says she will mail them to us on Saturday morning. Ours were mailed on Monday morning from Occidental, California (about 70 miles away from San Francisco, over the Golden Gate Bridge)

I estimate that we will get them on Wednesday! Let's see.

OPTIONAL ACTIVITIES
Find Louisville, Ohio on a map.
Go to Google Earth to see Louisville.
Check out their class blog www.missthurin.blogspot.com
Find out how long a flight from San Francisco to Ohio would be.
Find out how many miles it would be to DRIVE there.
Extra credit if you bring in information about any of these activities.
