Monday was an exciting day for Jesus Medina's second grade at Garfield School and Mrs. Smith's 2nd grade class from Community Elementary School in Coffeyville. The two classes have practiced their literacy skills through being pen pals all year long, and they finally met in person in Mr. Medina's classroom. The children introduced themselves, had a scavenger hunt to get to know their pen pals better, went to Forest Park for lunch and play time, them headed back to Mr. Medina's class for some Jeopardy math fun together.
