The Great Mail Race

Last week my class received a letter from a 4th grade student in Sealy, Texas.  We were asked to join the Great Mail Race.  I hadn't heard of it before and was excited to be invited to be a part of it.  Your job is to send a letter to each of the 50 states, telling all about your school, city, and state.  You also fill out a questionnaire and mail it back to the school that asked you to join.  Hopefully we will get to hear back from the schools we invited and learn a little bit more about them.  What a cool idea.  My kids, even the ones who are hesitant writers, were so excited to become part of the race.  We just finished and mailed out all of our letters this week.  Here are pictures of some our letters piled up!
