Letter Writing

Every year, just before the Winter Break, Oakridge opens a Post Office and children are encouraged to write letters to their friends and teachers in the school. For my ESL students, this is the perfect time to introduce letter writing. 

Thinking about WHO you would like to write a letter TO, and WHO that letter is FROM can post a challenge to understanding for early language learners. In the small group, we talk about the parts of a letter, read books about Pen Pals, write our own letters, put them in the mail, and see what happens! 

Here are some of our letters:

Happy Holidays to everyone!
