Friendly Letter Writing: Valentine's Day Parts of a Letter Unit with Templates

Tuesday, January 29, 2013

February is the perfect time to teach letter writing, because kids already want to write to someone they love. This unit walks them through all 5 parts.

This friendly letter writing unit teaches the 5 parts of a friendly letter with a Valentine's Day twist. You build the anchor chart together, check what students learned with a matching assessment, then students use the holiday vocabulary cards and their choice of letter templates to write their own letters.
