Mrs. Staples' ELA Classes Make Global Connections

Mrs. Staples' ELA Classes Make Global Connections


Spring Grove Area Middle School students from Mrs. Staples' English Language Arts classes are making global connections through a pen pal project with seventh and eighth grade students in Mongolia. The students have been communicating with each other throughout the year. They recently reached an exciting milestone as the students exchanged carefully curated care packages with tokens of friendship from their cultures.

Our students also shared creative, self-made postcards with information on a book they recently read. In addition to the postcards, the care packages contained an array of items representing the school and the local community. From favorite candies to custom bookmarks, stickers, and even class poems, every item was chosen with care to provide a meaningful glimpse into the lives of these young learners.
