The students received their letters from Learn Excel today and they were very, very excited. The kids at Learn Excel decorated the envelopes and gave some great information about themselves. My students were very interested in what the other person had to say. "Mr. P., I can't wait to meet [name]," I must've heard this about 10 times. I've never done something like this before, but I'm thrilled about how motivated my students are to write and communicate with their pen pals.
Unfortunately, our field trip, which was supposed to happen tomorrow (Wednesday), has now been cancelled due to the forecast of 50+ mph winds. The students were going to spend most of their time in the Crow Island Woods and the woods are a very dangerous place with high winds. The students were very upset about this, but we are working with Learn Excel to reschedule before the weather becomes too unbearable.
