Pen Pals!

My school aged kids have written letters to pen pals in Pellworm, Germany, thanks to my 4th grade teacher, Ms. Susanne Guthrie. She's over there right now, and has invited those she knows to send messages to her email, and she'll taking the letters to the kids at school tomorrow! How fun is that!?!

Dear Pen Pal,

My name is Jackson Steelman. I am 7 years old. I will be 8 on September 25th. I am in the second grade at Sanford Creek Elementary School in Rolesville, North Carolina, USA. I am the oldest kid in my family, and have two younger brothers, named Brady and Carter. My mom's name is Leah, and my dad's name is Rodney. Mom stays home with us during the day, and cooks and cleans. She was born and raised at Harkers Island, which is probably a lot like your hometown. My dad goes to work 5 days a week in an office where he is an analyst. I'm not really sure what that means! haha!

I have light brown hair and brown eyes. Right now, I am wearing braces on my teeth, and hope they will be removed by this summer! I like to fix my hair in a mohawk for fun.  My favorite food is anything Asian, like shrimp and lo mein noodles. I like to play with legos. I love to play basketball with my dad. In our back yard, we have a trampoline, swings, and a playset in the woods. We play out there a lot, especially in the spring, summer and fall. We had a lot of snow this past winter! It has just gotten warm enough here to go to the pool. Our family will probably go this weekend!

Please tell me a little about yourself, and your hometown. Do you have a big family? Do you like any sports? Do you play legos? What is your favorite food? 

Your friend,
Jackson

Dear Pen Pal, 

My name is Brady Steelman. I am 5 years old. I will be 6 in 6 days - May 23rd. I am in Kindergarten at Sanford Creek Elementary School in Rolesville, North Carolina, USA. I am the second of three boys in my family. My older brother is named Jackson and my younger brother is named Carter. My mom's name is Leah, and my dad's name is Rodney. Mom stays home with us during the day, and cooks and cleans. She was born and raised at Harkers Island, which is probably a lot like your hometown. My dad goes to work 5 days a week in an office where he is an analyst. I'm not really sure what that means! haha!

I have brown hair and brown eyes. My favorite food is pancakes with syrup, bananas, strawberries, and whipped cream. I really like dinosaurs and all outdoor creatures, like turtles, frogs, grasshoppers and butterflies. I want to be a paleontologist when I grow up. In our back yard, we have a trampoline, swings, and a playset in the woods. We play out there a lot, especially in the spring, summer and fall. We had a lot of snow this past winter! It has just gotten warm enough here to go to the pool. Our family will probably go this weekend!

Please tell me a little about yourself, and your hometown. Do you have a big family? Do you like outdoor creatures too? What is your favorite food? 

Your friend,
Brady
