"Thank you!" These two little words can not be used enough! Thank you to our FABULOUS parents and all the work they do to prepare their students for life! Thank you to our community that works together and supports our school! Thank you to our extended families of siblings, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins who help out in hundreds of ways, often not ever recognized!
In fourth grade, we have a learning goal to write friendly letters, a learning goal to write addresses, and a sincere effort to our students to make their learning purposeful and meaningful. When we looked at our goals, writing thank you notes was a fantastic activity!
In September, we started by having students learn and practice their addresses. In October, we gave them their own address books and encouraged them to fill the books and use them. In November, we asked students to record the host's name and address for their Thanksgiving meal, in their planner for the days we didn't have school. This week, we used our letter writing skills to craft a thank you note. We applied our address writing practice to learn how to properly address an envelope. Finally, we mailed our thank yous!
