Classroom Letters

Everyone loves getting letters! Am I right?!?!

Kids love getting letters too.

Many moons ago, I bought some letters written by ocean animals.

They were a total hit.

Then I bought some letters for each letter of the alphabet.

This calls for more and more letters!!!!

Each time we have a new unit, the students get a new letter introducing the unit.
Our letters usually come from our mascot.
Sometimes they come from a tour guide like in the zoo pack.

They start off with a broad overview of theme words that I display in our writing center.

For example in our space unit we have an intro letter:

Then each day we get a letter from a different planet or piece of equipment.

Sometimes, it's just one letter like our weather letter:

Sometimes I give out badges for the kids to wear.

Here's our friendship/love letter

During our rain forest unit,
we start with an overview. Then each day we get a letter from a different creature or plant.

During our insect unit, we of course start with an overview of all insects.
I add word cards for those, however, I don't add the word cards that will send letters during our study.

For example, say I have eight days for our insect unit. I pick seven bugs that write letters. They send us that word card for that insect.

I address the envelopes more so for myself lol
