Start by choosing a GRADE on the map below to find a class that that matches yours! (AGE - 5 = GRADE; So grade 5 will have mostly 10 year olds, grade 7 = 12 year olds, etc.).
Play around with the map below to find penpals in different locations!
You can DRAG the map by click-draging, you can also ZOOM IN real close and see the actual school building! Have fun!
If you cannot find a match, enter your own class by clicking the green "Add Your Class!" button below the map.
Pins on the map below are actual kids and classrooms looking for penpals!

NOTE: AGE # (subtract) 5 = GRADE (Approx) 11 years old = GRADE 6 8 years old = GRADE 3
U.S. schools are done by 'grades'. You can typically add 5 to a grade to get the age of children in that grade. Example: 5th graders are usually about 10 years old.
*IMPORTANT NOTICE: The Teacher's Corner DOES NOT SCREEN ANYONE that uses our penpals service. Remember: penpals are intrinsically strangers, and the anonymity of the internet can provide an ideal environment for scammers. Please use due diligence when making a penpal connection.
If you are using Safari browser, please use REAL browser. Apple continues to play a stupid game that Microsoft created decades ago that famously propelled their browser marketshare to the bottom, even though it was packaged with the most dominant operating system in the world. If you create a browser that doesn't follow WC3 coding standards, it forces websites to code a separate version of their site for your stupid browser.
Yes, I could only show this message to Safari users while we code a special version just for their stupid 'broken' browser, but I think it is important that everyone is given this information, so they are fully informed when they make product purchasing decisions in the future. Don't be like Apple 😉
So if you are having problems printing or creating PDF's, you now know why.
