1. Review Sight Words and Spelling Words
2. Writing a Friendly Letter. We have written letters in class, so this should be a review.
- Watch this video https://youtu.be/3dYTsqqeH7g and follow along with page 4 of your packet to review the parts of a letter.
- After the video, use page 4 to write a rough draft, or sloppy copy, of a friendly letter. Hopefully, you've received a friendly letter from me in the mail. I would love it if you could write a friendly letter back to me to tell me more about what you have been doing lately! You can use my letter as a sample for this activity. *When writing the heading, do not worry about writing the 'address' as page 4 shows, just use the date.
- After writing the sloppy copy of your letter, have someone proofread and edit the letter for you.
- Remove the last page in your packet to write the good copy of your letter.
- Follow the instructions on the video of how to address an envelope. My address is:
Mrs. Thornton
122 Freedom Valley Circle
Coatesville, PA 19320
- I can't wait to 'hear' from you! If you don't have stamps or can't mail the letter for some reason, please just take a pic and email it to me.
- Is there anyone else you can write a friendly letter to? If so, I'm sure they'd love to receive a letter from you soon!

*This class really enjoyed coloring in their 'Stations' book. Sorry I did not realize when we brought our books home that they wouldn't be back to get it before Easter. They also enjoyed going to Stations of the Cross at school, so I think they will like this!
