We opened our first letters from our pen pals in Alaska yesterday. The students were thrilled to see an envelope addressed to each of them. Their pen pals shared things they like to do and what the weather is like in Alaska (lots of snow). The class and I have started talking about how we are going to respond to our pals and what should be included in our next letter. We created a bubble chart of the question they asked us and came up with many great things to share with our pals. Each students pen pal asked them what they like to do in Washington. As a class, we came up with: camping, fishing, hiking, playing at the park, swimming, getting ice cream, shopping, playing in the sprinkler, listening to music, riding bikes, and playing with our siblings outside. We will write our first draft on Monday and have our final draft ready to mail by Friday.
