Our first grade friends have been learning how to write friendly letters. They learned about the format of a friendly letter: Date – Goes in upper right-hand corner so the recipient knows when you wrote the letter.Greeting – Goes on the left side, and is followed by the name of the person you are writing.Body – Where you share what you want the recipient to read.Closing – Where you wrap up the letter, like a conclusion. Signature – Where you add your name. First the students tried out their new letter writing skills by writing a letter to a friend. Next, they wrote letters to senior citizens who are in rehab facilities and aren’t allowed to have visitors right now.
