DROP EVERYTHING AND WRITE

October 14, 2010

Dear Parents/Guardians,

October is National Family Month!  October 20^th is National Day of Writing!

October 20^th 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 19^th.

Your child’s teacher will collect the letters in preparation of the writing event on October 20^th.  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
