All of my third, fourth and fifth grade students are in the process of writing pen pal letters back and forth from a small school in Zimbabwe to here. (A friend is facilitating this process, at the other school.)
Here's a sample.....
Dear Anneta*,
How are you? I am just fine. Thank you for your letter, I liked hearing about your favorite food.
I have 6 cats, 2 dogs and a hamster. The hamster's name is Petey.
When I grow up, I want to be a doctor. I also want to have a farm and to have 16 kids.
Do you like candy? I like candy corn, sweeties, and Tootsie Rolls. I'm either going to be a scientist or a princess ballerina for Halloween.
How about you?
your friend,
Shana*
*Shana and Anneta are not, of course, these young writers' real names.
