************************************************************************
Hello Everyone! I recently read an email similar to this to my class,
and they thought it was just the "coolest thing." Wanting to be a
teacher that would subject my "kids" to The Coolest Things, I thought,
Why not? Here are the details:
We are 16 fourth graders (+ one class guinea pig, Farley Drexel) in a
small rural community in Illinois.
We've decided to map an email project to see where our email can
travel via internet between now and May 9, 2001. (1 month exactly) We
will also be graphing how many responses we get from each state *AND*
hopefully country.
This is NOT a pen-pal project as we will not write you back unless you
request verification. (Which we will be glad to do...)
You can help us by:
1.) Email us back at: dsentelskids@yahoo.com and tell us your city /
state / country so we can plot it on a map and chart it on our
graph.
2.) Forward this email to everyone you know so that they can send it
to everyone they know and they can.....you get the picture......to
help us reach even more people.
I would like to prove to my kids that even though we are a small bunch
from a small community we can do BIG things.
We don't mind receiving repeats, so, please, send away! *HOPEFULLY*,
with a little help, we would like to post our results on the website
of our school.
After we do this, you can all check in and see how we did. Our school
site is: http://www.windsor.k12.il.us/ - but, PLEASE remember the
finishing date is May 9 and it will take us a day or two to get it
posted. With your help we can make this a very fun learning
experience. We are all very excited!
Thanks, in advance, for your help!
