Letter writing

Today we had to finish our letters to our Grade 1 Reading Buddies, and deliver them to the Radisson post box. - Jenna

First thing in the morning, we had to finish our Grade 1 Reading Buddies' letters. At recess, we had crazy carpets and I almost went over the bump to stop us from crashing. - Alexandra

Today we got to finish our letters, and we got to read to our Grade 1 Reading Buddies. It was really fun reading to them. Yesterday we got to make notes for the Grade 1s, and today we got to put them in an envelope and bring them to the Grade 1s. - Dylan

This morning, we wrote letters and finished them. Jenna and I brought them to the Radisson post box. Today we went on the hill, and it was fun! - Kurt

After recess, we had Gym and it was fun. We did some hockey skills. - Emma

When it was crazy carpets, I only went on it three times because it was hard climbing up the hill because two people went up at the same time. I would always get the bumpy side, and I would always fall down. - Logan

As part of 'I Love To Read' month (which happens every February), the students of Radisson School have started writing letters back and forth to their Reading Buddies (our Reading Buddies are the students of Ms. Derkson's Grade 1 class). We talked about how to construct a letter (greeting, body, ending, P.S.), and what makes for an interesting letter to both read and write - the more interesting the letters we write to our Reading Buddies are, the more interesting the letters we get back in response from our Reading Buddies will be! Today, all of the students finished writing their letters and addressing their envelopes. The mail was picked up this afternoon, and should be delivered by tomorrow morning. The students worked hard on their letters, and are excited to get their own letters from Ms. Derkson's class!
