Letters to Santa

Today we studied friendly letters and started our letters to Santa. Formatting, punctuation, capitalization, and spelling were essential for completed letters because students had to be sure Santa could read their letters quickly. To enable accuracy each child had three editors and each editor had to find something that needed checked. I also limited what they could ask for: no live pets, not more than 3 things.

All of the students were very busy getting their wishes ready to send to Santa.
