Learning About People All Over the World

I read a blog titled Please Help Abby with Her Homework that was about a little girl that had a school assignment where she had to write to another kid in a different part of the world. Abby wrote about what she liked to do and what activites she did. I think this is a great project becuase it is interesting to learn about other people and where they are from. In third grade I had an assignment like this where i had to write to a friend in the east and i told them about myself. When i got a reply from my pen pal I enjoyed reading their response. They talked about what they also liked to do and some of the activities we both liked. I liked doing this project and I like how they still do it in some school. I think it is interesting that they still do this project and I hope other kids see how great of a learning experience this is because its not every day you get to talk to someone on the other side of the country or even the other side of the world. I hope everyone gets to try this project at least once because when you have pen pals it brings the world together and everyone learns more about each other. Abby gets to learn about her pan pal in Kentucky and I hope she enjoyed learning about that person.
