Dee Ann Wooldridge at lonestarlass@yahoo.com ------------------------------------------ Hi, my name is Shawn and I am 12 years old. I live in Florida and would like to have a penpal my email is castles@kua.net. THANKS --------------------------------------- Hello. I'm a mother of four and just recently started homeschooling. What a change of life for us. My children would love to receive emails from other children. My daughter is 10 (Katie), my oldest son is 9 (Taylor) and my youngest son is 7 (Brayden). What a great way for children to meet others. Our email address is justthesixofusr@yahoo.com Thank You! --------------------------------------- I am homeschooling three kids in Louisville, Kentucky. My youngest just turned 5 and is a little young for a pen pal, however my two older kids would love to be email pen pals with other home schooled kids, especially if their is anyone from this area. My oldest is a 12 year old girl named Amanda. Her email address is amanda618@hotmail.com I also have a 10 year old boy named Daniel, his email is danielt1025@hotmail.com If there is anyone out there in this area who homeschools I would like to hear from you my email is susanrisner@hotmail.com THANKS!!! Susan ---------------------------------------- Hello, I homeschool my daughters. They would love to have pen pals. Their ages are almost 7 and almost 10. Our email address is BowlingFarms5@msn.com. Thank you ! Sherry ---------------------------------------- Hello. I just wanted to make a comment about the penpal postings. I am wondering if it isn't kind of dangerous for moms to be posting their childrens' e-mail addresses, and even more dangerous posting the city they are from. A few days ago I received a very scary e-mail about a lady who was stalked by a man who was attracted to her because of her "online name". They began chatting, and after a while he was stalking her. If I saved the e-mail, I could forward it to you, but either way, just something for us moms to think about. Thank you. A Concerned Mom, Christine --------------------------------------- If you are a teacher, parent or homeschooled student and would like a pen pal and want to post it here please send an email message to Teacher_stuff2001@yahoo.com ======================= If you are having problems accessing links in this newsletter check out the TeacherStuff at Yahoo Groups.
