Letter Writing Is Fun

Spring is in the air and so is the spirit of letter writing.  Recently at Tampa’s MacFarlane Park Elementary School, Mrs. Domeiers’  2^nd grade students were shown how to write a letter.  They were asked to choose a friend or family member and share with them what they were doing in school that day.  The children addressed their own envelopes and placed a stamp on the letter to mail.  For many students this was the first time that they had written a letter.

Writing, sending and receiving letters, postcards, and greeting cards is a tradition that has preserved our nation's history. Unlike other communications, card and letter writing is timeless, personal, and immediately tangible. “It was so much fun writing a letter today,” stated one of the children.
