We’re Writing Letters Again!

Posted by Jenn Greenleaf Mar 24, 2009

My stepdaughter and I each received letters yesterday, so today is a day for replies! We love writing and receiving letters around here, so it’s always like a gift each time we open the mailbox to find something new. My boys are going to write some letters, too, because they have a lot of news and artwork to share, too!

We love turning our letters into “visual” letters, similar to an art journal page (in the margins of the letters), so this is going to be an excellent opportunity to be creative today. During summer vacation, we write at least one letter per week – but, now that they can write with less effort (as they get older, everything becomes less of a chore), they seem to want to do this more often. I think that’s great!

So, back to letter writing – I’m going to have everything set out and ready for them to get going with right after they finish their after school snack. I’m thinking about encouraging my nephew to write letters as part of his homeschooling program, as well, so he can start getting some fun mail (and hopefully gain a fresh, new, and inspiring perspective on writing) once and awhile, too. We’ll have to see how that goes, though . . .
