We are excited to become pen pals with Mrs. Eldredge's Third Grade class in White Settlement, Texas! Mrs. Eldredge and I taught next door to one another last year in Crowley, Texas, and we look forward to staying in touch and helping our students get to know each other through letter writing. To begin the pen pal process, we first had to brush up on the format of friendly letters. We learned all about proper greetings and closings, and we worked on indentation and spacing so that our letters would be just right!
Each student composed a letter introducing him/herself to their pen pal. The students wrote about their families, their hobbies and interests, and their favorite sports, foods, and books. I encouraged the students to ask plenty of good questions that would help them get to know their new pals. I was so impressed at the beautiful letters that we shipped off to White Settlement! We are awaiting a response from Mrs. Eldredge's class and we will be sure to post more about our pen pal adventures.
