Dear Santa,

Today we practiced our writing skills  by writing a short and sweet letter to Santa.  The students were given a template to write on and my volunteer created a larger version on the whiteboard.  She spearheaded this lesson and I got to walk around and help the Kinders who needed some extra support.

Their first instruction was to write their name on the bottom line and to color the edges green and red.

Once this was done, the writing process began.  This is how it unfolded:

And, here is a finished product:

The Kinders were pretty creative.  Their wishes varied greatly and there weren't any copycats!  Tomorrow we will work on addressing our envelopes to the North Pole.
