Welcome to the Project Page Our on going project for the whole year will be “Kids around the World”. We, with your parent’s permission, will join epals. Here is a little bit about epals; ePals, the global platform for learning online. ePals is a Global Community of students, teachers, and academic experts in 200 countries and territories. ePals provides connections to other students and classes worldwide that are safe and protected. Here is the website []. ePals is safe and will be perfect to use with our project. We will be linked with other classes and schools all around the world. Parent’s this is just like pen pals only through e-mail and way more advanced. This project will have many different parts. We will be learning about the similarities and differences with other kids around the world. For example: One month we will study about Australia. We will learn about their animals, their music, their weather, their holidays, their trees and other plant life, and their foods. We will be able to go on to ePals and click on Australia to find students and classes they have in Australia and communicate with them. We will even be able to work on projects with them. Then the next month we can choose a different location. Here is a great website to use to study some of the other parts of the world: []
