Dear Friends, For the last couple of weeks I have been making something for you. Inspired by my son's pen pal relationship this summer, I ordered every book I could find that involved characters who write letters. I read them all carefully, considering how some could work together around the theme, Mail Myself to You. Finally, I wrote a set of K-5 lessons--including Reading Art, Read Aloud, Shared Reading, Small Group Instruction, and Independent Reading. I've assembled these lessons in a tabbed hyperdoc--a pdf that links to sections within the document, as well as to sources outside the document. It includes videos of me describing the books and the lessons, written descriptions of each lesson, and ideas for extension. The lessons are clustered: kindergarten-1st, 2nd-3rd, and 4th-5th. The lessons are free, with a subscription to my blog/newsletter. If you complete the contact form below, I will email you personally, including the 25-page, linked PDF as an attachment (Please, give me 24 hours to respond). Or, if you want to write to me directly to request the document, my email is tct.jan@gmail.com. I am excited to share this collection of resources with you. They have been a labor of love. Wishing you all good things, Jan

The Kids Should See This sent out a blog post today that has five videos on mail, post office, etc. I think it goes along very well with the information you created about the first week of school.

Thank you for sharing this! I'm doing a program at the library centered around Mail Myself To You to foster more connections with distant family in this time when we can't be together as much as we'd like.
