Pen Pals


This last month we started a Pen Pal unit with a 3rd grade class in Eagle Mountain, Utah. Mrs. Nelson's class has 27 students. Both classes are very excited to have pen pals and are seeing writing in a new light. It is fun for the students to see writing being a worth while thing.

Along with learning about letters, the students are working on improving their handwriting, and using proper punctuation.

The students in both classes have promised not to exchange addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses. At the end of the school year if the students are still writing, parents will be allowed to change that if they would like.
