Letter Writing Assignment

After reading letters from their teachers, the students wrote letters in reply.  Criteria for the letters included writing 5 paragraphs (introductory, 3 paragraphs about topics of their choice, and a closing paragraph).   I have had a chance to read most of the letters and I will read the rest this coming week.   They did a good job choosing topics and writing 4 - 5 sentences related to the topics.  With partners they began the editing process.

The students are excited to type the letters on computers.  Many began typing their letters before I even assigned this step!  Please help your child with the editing and typing of the letter.  Some children will need more support than others.  Spread the work out if that is what is required.  The typed letter is not due until Monday October 16th.  The finished product should be in your child's voice, and he/she should feel it is his/her own work, with a little adult help to clean it up.  

If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know.  Thank you in advance for your support with this.

Miss Beleski and I look forward to reading the final letters.
