December Letter Writing Unit

Every December the students learn how to write friendly letters, and in the holiday spirit, we put out our own mailbox to deliver and receive letters from students and staff around the school.  Each letter the students send out is expected to include the date, a greeting, at least 4 complete sentences in the body of the letter, a closing, and signature.  Once the students have completed a letter, they address it using our school addresses, put a stamp in the right hand corner, and place it in our mailbox.  The mail is sorted each day, and a few students have the job to deliver it around the school.  It is a very exciting unit!  Each day the students look forward to receiving letters back from those they wrote to.
