DROP EVERYTHING AND WRITE

October 14, 2010
Dear Parents/Guardians,
October is National Family Month!  October 20th is National Day of Writing!
October 20th we will ‘DROP EVERYTHING AND WRITE!’   Students will have an authentic purpose for writing by responding to a letter from you.  In order to make this school-wide activity a success, we need for you to do 2 things. 
Ø We are asking that you write a letter to your child on the left side of the paper provided.
Ø Send the letter back to school in the envelope provided by Tuesday, October 19th.
Your child’s teacher will collect the letters in preparation of the writing event on October 20th.  Your child will respond to your letter during the ‘Drop Everything and Write’ event.  We anticipate your cooperation in this writing activity so that all students will have a letter to respond to. 
P.S.  You will have a writing piece from your child that you can have for years to come!
Thank you,
First Grade Teachers J
