A teacher at Laity View Elementary sent each of her students a personal letter as a way of teaching them about non-fictional writing.
Chris Bucholz, a Grade 1/2 teacher, wrote 21 personalized letters and mailed them on April 5, along with a self-addressed stamped envelope and a post-it note that informed the students to keep the envelope for a future writing assignment.
She got the idea from a parent of one of her students who asked her for her home address in order for her daughter to write her a letter.
