Our pen pals

We are so excited! Yesterday Mrs. McEvoy brought our first pen pal letters.  Today we wrote back to them.    

Our class

Our pen pals!



Here are some things we want to find out about our pen pals.

 Jeremiah asks "What are your favorite colors?"

"What do you like at school?" wonders Teddi.

"What is your favorite game?" dictated Nicholas.

"Do you wear glasses?" added Max.

"Where is your favorite place to go to?" said Pasha.

"What is your favorite thing to do at home?" thought Jayln.

Allie asks, "What is your favorite food?"

"Do you guys have a class pet?" babbled Ella.

"What is your favorite sport?"  claimed Dylan.

"What is it like in high school?" rejoiced Juliet.

  1. I'm not sure which pen pals were more excited...the first graders or the ninth graders. We can't wait to get our next letter.

  3. This is Sophia. There are two Sophias in our class so this is Sophia S. I am not sure what I want to say to my pen pal right now but I like seeing the pictures. I am not sure if my pen pal is wearing green, red or gray in the picture. Can you please remind me?

  7. Hi Teddi!I love playing tennis at school. It's really fun when you get to play against other people. Biology is one of my favorite classes because I learn so much about the human body. Science has always fascinated and interested me. Whenever I have spare time, I like reading books in the library and talking to my friends. How is first grade so far? What are you learning in class?

  9. Hi Sam!!:)I'm Allison, one of your pen pals. I am so happy that you love reading too. I can't wait to tell you all my favorite books from first grade. Maybe you can read them and tell me what you think of them. I still have not gotten to read any Star Wars books, but I asked my cousin if he had any and if he could bring them to my house the next time he comes over.

  16. Hello first graders! I am so excited to get to write to you guys! High school is a lot of fun, and my favorite part about it is all the clubs and teams you can join. I get to do so many fun things with my friends! I do not wear glasses, and we don't have a class pet. If we did, I would want it to be a hippo, BECAUSE HIPPOS ARE AMAZING!!!!!!!! My favorite color is purple, and when I'm at home I like to read or draw. I can't wait to see you guys!

  26. Hi Pen Pals,
    This is Nicholas and I am trying to find my pen pal. Is it you Joe? I like sports, my favorites are baseball and basketball. Right now I am playing Fall baseball at Westhills and I am on the Pinto Rockies. My brother plays too, he is in 4th grade and on the Mustang Rangers.
    Do you play sports? If so, what is your favorite? Also, what teams do you like? I am a Yankee and Giants fan. For basketball I like the Clippers and Thunder.
    Your Pen Pal,
    Nicholas

Goodbye for now...Sophia Nedick.
