The kids started their "Friendly Letter" campaign about three weeks ago, and they are so happy with the results. So far they have written over twenty letters, received at least ten, and already started working on their responses. Unfortunately, since we've been sick, we have fallen a little behind, but they are really happy with everything they've done so far with their letters and are excited to keep working. They especially like sending and getting pictures. We now have our 'pen pal' board, where we are keeping any pictures that are sent our way, letters (until we reply), and any other important information we need for letter writing. The kids' handwriting is improving daily, and they really enjoy getting to know their cousins, friends, aunts/uncles, anyone that showed an interest in getting a letter.
I ran out of pictures to add to their letters, so I will be printing more off and sending in later letters to those that missed out on the picture. Right now, we have another eight responses to write to our pen pals, which might take us a few days. :) But, the kids love sending and receiving mail so much, that they don't mind writing pen pals over the weekend, even. It is interesting to read the many letters and see what they ask/tell the various recipients. I hope they are able to see at least a few of their pen pals this summer. :)
