PEN PAL IDEAS

Here are a couple of form pages to help your students understand the format of a letter.  Below are two of the decorated letters I used for the Pen Pal Letters.  I purchased design paper and ran them through the copier to add lines for the students to use.  As we wrote our letters, I would ask the students to show me some of the skills we had been working on: capitalization of proper nouns, certain punctuation, and of course neatness and nice penmanship-always!  Remember to make copies before you mail the letters out, so you can insert in the Journal/Memory Books.  I also put the letter from their penpal in their Journal/Memory Books.
