friendly letters

This month's writing genre focus in on friendly letters. We've been immersed in reading letters and heard books with letter writing in them including The Jolly Postman and Other People's Letters, Help Me, Mr. Mutt! and Dear Mermaid. As writers we've talked about who we can write to and reasons for writing letters. We will be working through the writing process creating letters over the next couple weeks and for the rest of the year. Encourage writing letters to loved ones at home this month and be sure to focus on format including the date, greeting, body (message), and closing.

Alexa brought a favorite book, Dear Mermaid, from home as an example of letter writing!
