Thank You!

Earlier in the school year, fourth graders were tested on their home addresses. This week, we put them to use!

One of our Common Core Standards is to write using a variety of purposes and formats. Letter writing is one of the formats students need to know. Over Thanksgiving break, students had an assignment to write down the address of their host/hostess of their Thanksgiving meal.

Last week, we learned the letter writing format. We wrote Thank you notes to our hosts. Then we learned how to address an envelope. Today we mailed them! SO EXCITING!!!

Writing Thanks You notes are a life skill. Students are encouraged to write Thank Yous when they need to express gratitude.
