CONNECTING CONTINENTS

"Connecting Continents" is a project that aims to bring students from two elementary schools together in the United States and South Africa. 5th grade students at Oakton Elementary School in the Chicago area are corresponding with children of the same age at Manyeleti Primary School in Gothenburg, Mpumalanga, South Africa. Through shared journals, letters, photos and video, these students are learning about the lives and culture of their pen pals.

Below are photos from Manyeleti (by Jon Lowenstein) and photos from the 5th grade class at Oakton.
