Letters from Home

Monday I got to do my pen pal letters from my 4^th grade class. To say that my Grade 3 students were excited was an understatement.

Fiore Flowers, I cannot wait to get these to you. I got to work with each group individually and read each letter to the student. They took this very seriously and wanted to know so much about all of you. I brought our picture from Lansing along and before I knew it they wanted to know who was who in the picture. They are still working on making them perfect for all of you, which is awesome. None of them have ever done this before, so they are so excited. Before I end of the day I handed out your pictures to all of them knew exactly who you are.  Once again you would have thought it was Christmas, but for these students a picture is amazing to have. They all have placed them in their folders which have a clear cover on them so today when I asked them to get their folders out I saw all your faces and it made me smile so much!

Side story about the photos; One of the boys asked to write to a girl, which was perfect because I had a lot of girl letters left and only 2 boy letters left. Cohen, my student was super excited; the smile on his face was priceless. I won’t say who he wrote to but it is super sweet his excitement to write a letter. He kept telling me I want a lekker (pronounced lecka) girl; which means pretty/good/nice girl. It was super sweet and he for sure showed me how girl crazy he can be at the age of 8.

I have all the letter almost done, and in a special place to travel home with me in less than 10 days. I have pictures of their journey here so far and will make sure to have some  more on the journey home. Just know that I cannot wait to give them to you all and tell you all about my students here.

 It’s sweet to have this connection between my Peach Plains students and Ida’s Valley students.
