A very special part of being in our 1st grade classroom is having a penpal! This school year,
Mrs. Dunn's 1st graders in Topsfield, MA and our class will get to know each other through letters. Mrs. Dunn and I are excited to bring penpal letters to our classrooms as a way to connect our Tri-Town schools. In a few years these groups of 1st graders will be at MASCO together. Towards the end of September we were the first to send off letters introducing ourselves to our penpals.
Our letters were signed, sealed and ready to deliver. We walked them up to the mailboxes and off they went.
We have been anxiously checking the mail and waiting to hear back. Just a few days ago we got a message from Mrs. Dunn's class on Twitter and instantly wrote back.
Now we watch the mail as we know these pumpkin pals are in transit. There is still something to be said about the good old fashioned snail mail.
I remember last year we did penpals too. I wonder if you penpaled with the same teacher you did last year or if it is new teacher this year.
ReplyDeleteHi Emma,
DeleteYou are right, we have a new pen pal class this year. Mrs. Shea is not teaching 1st grade this year so we are writing with a class in Topsfield. I'm so glad you remember writing to your penpal.
