Letter writing is an enjoyable activity for those who write and also for those who receive them. If we didn’t have devices and technology we wouldn’t be able to FaceTime, use messenger apps, see our friends and family through video calls or talk on the phone.
Today, I would like you to write a letter to a family member or friend. Think about who you’re writing to. Address them at the top. When you’re addressing a letter you can say Dear… or To: …. or think of another way to greet someone and begin your letter. Write what you want to say and then sign your name. You can decorate this letter too! If you are able to, it might be nice to try mailing it and see how long it takes for your friend or family to receive it! If you can’t send it through the regular mail, maybe you can try taking a picture of it and sending it to that person 🙂
Think about the goal of your letter. Are you checking in with someone to say hi? Are you writing to them to see how they’re feeling and if they are doing ok? Do you want to know what they’ve been doing lately? Do you want to share an experience or what you have been up to? Are you using this letter to mark a special occasion like a birthday?
*If this letter is private and your child doesn’t want to share it with me, I respect that and you don’t have to send in a photo to me!
