Letter to Santa
Letter to Santa
This week the students were taught the 5 components of a friendly letter - heading, greeting, body, closing and signature. They were then assigned the task of writing a letter to Santa. These letters turned out great and can be viewed in our photo gallery for the week. We have mailed the letters to the North Pole and the students are eagerly awaiting Santa's reply.
