Pen Pals

You may have noticed that your 1st grader recently came home with a letter from a new friend!  This year we will again be partnering with a 1st grade class in Allentown to be pen pals.  We have received our first letter from our Allentown friends and have successfully written back to them.  We discussed the 5 parts of a friendly letter.  (See if your child can sing our song and name all 5 parts.)  We also learned that in friendly letters we SHARE and CARE.  We share by answering our friend's questions and telling them about ourselves, and we care by asking questions that we'd like to find out more about.  



The excitement on the children's faces when they received their letters was priceless. Consider having your child write a friendly letter to a relative or friend!  

We will be having a picnic to meet our pen pals in person later this spring!
