Our grade 5 class participated in the Great Canadian Mail Race. This is an activity that has been going on for quite a few years. Each student writes a generic letter to any grade 5 student in Canada. They research a city and province where they want their letter to go, and find a school in that region. The student who gets a reply back first wins the race!  We received a letter from a student in Quesnel, British Columbia. One of our students wrote back to this student. It was a great activity and the students really enjoyed it.
