📬✉️ Spreading kindness, one letter at a time! 💌
Students in Mrs. Phillips' ELA pull-out groups took a special moment to show gratitude to mail carriers for their hard work and dedication. Some students wrote heartfelt letters to Mrs. Sandi, a retired mail carrier and our beloved lunch monitor, while others chose to send their appreciation to Mrs. Phillips’ husband, who is currently delivering mail in our community.
Through this activity, students learned how to write a letter, address an envelope, and even determine the correct postage to mail their letters! What a wonderful way to practice real-world writing skills while spreading kindness on National Mail Carrier Day! ❤️📮
