Pen Pals

This year, I was blessed with a sweet teacher-friend in Atlanta who asked if our class could be pen pals with her 2nd graders! I am so excited to be able to do this with the children. Not only do they work on their writing skills and learn friendly-letter writing, they have the chance to communicate with students that live in a different area and may live a different lifestyle than them. I think this will broaden their world. Even though their pen pals are only in Atlanta, they are already learning new and different things about their lives!

The children worked so hard on their letters. They learned about the writing process. They began with a rough draft, I helped them edit it, and then they worked so hard to complete their final draft! I am so proud of them and all of the work they put into these letters! When we finally received our first batch of letters, they were overjoyed! Here are some pictures of the exciting day:
