Lots of Lovely Long Letters!

Twenty long letters from the students in Mrs. Mason's fourth grade class!


Wow! What a surprise! I have received 20 lovely long letters from the students in Mrs. Mason's fourth grade class.

More Letters!

21 letters in beautifully illustrated envelopes
from Mrs. Ark's 2015 fourth grade class!

Mrs. Ark and her fourth grade class are the best! Several days ago I received an envelope with 21 letters about The Things With Wings, each one in a colorful envelope illustrated with scenes from the book.

Thank You For the Letters

(Monkeys seem to be popular in Florida at the moment.)

I thank Ms. M and the other teachers over the years who have told me that they have found creative ways to use
