PEN PAL PAIR UP 2015 – COMING SOON

July 2, 2015 by teacherideafactory

So, I have received oodles of emails asking if I am hosting the Pen Pal Pair Up this year.  I might be insane taking this one on again . . . especially with the move to the new school, but I am going to accept the challenge! 

Look for sign ups to open the week after SDE/TPT Vegas (sometime after July 13th).  I am starting the process early to keep it as separate as possible from the back to school chaos that will hit hard in early August.  It will also allow me to spread the typing out a bit in an effort to keep my wonderful tendonitis in check.

The slots fill quickly (I take the first 500-700 teachers . . . we shall see how many I am game for), so be ready to jump on board quickly if you want in on this event!  I promise to give you a little notice before I post the sign up doc. This will give a fair “heads up” to all who might be interested.  With this said, be sure you follow my Instagram and Facebook accounts as I will announce the exact time the Pair Up will go live on both of these social media outlets. 

For those of you who don’t know what the Pen Pal Pair Up is all about, I find another classroom/teacher to match you up with for the year.  In essence, I take the “finding” and “connecting” part out of the process for you . . . your class just has to take the time to write ๐Ÿ™‚  It’s a great way to work in geography and friendly letter writing.  Oh, and you don’t have to be a blogger to participate.  I mostly pair up teachers K-6 (although I have found matches for some 7th and 8th in the past three rounds).

Alright, that is it from little old me today.  I will be back soon with a new classroom update and a freebie ๐Ÿ™‚  Big hugs, y’all!
