Today in Miss Martin's mailbox, she found an extra special envelope that was addressed to our first grade class! Before we opened it, we predicted what we thought might be inside or who it might be from. Some thought a book, while others predicted a big card. A few friends thought it was from our book fairy (who visits once a month!) or from a parent of one of our first graders. We weren't quite sure, so we decided to open it!
We opened the package and this is what we found...
It was a letter from our pen pals! This year we will be pen pals with another first grade class. We don't know much about them yet, but we are very excited! We really enjoyed reading their letter today and cannot believe that they do the Daily 5 in their classroom too! I bet we have a lot in common with them! We can't wait to write a letter back to our pen pals and learn more about who they are.
