📪 Mrs. Wood's class received a letter from a 4th-grade student in South Carolina asking them to join The Great Mail Race! The idea is for students from around the US to write to each other and learn about their school and town.
Our students each chose an elementary school in a different state to write to, asking them to join The Great Mail Race.
This project integrates writing, reading, and social studies map skills. Students will mark on a map when they receive a response from their letter to keep track of all the places they are learning about. They loved writing to students in other states and can’t wait to get mail back! 📨
