Mrs. Drabant's World History II students have paired up with third graders from St. George to be pen pals this year. They have exchanged their first letters, where they introduced themselves and some of their favorite foods, sports, subjects and video games. On Friday, they had a Zoom call to say hello and shared a little about what they've been up to in class. Their Lancer buddies are getting ready to start a class novel and do research on saints. They gave their buddies some suggestions for their research after completing two research projects of their own! #Prep #PenPals #WorldHistory
