Today, we each wrote our first letter to our "unknown" elementary school e-pal. Based on the information we provided about ourselves in our letters, we will each get matched up with a student who needs support in reading and writing for the 2011-12 school year. We talked about our interests and our favorite books, and were recommended to ask the student questions to answer in order to start building our relationships with them. The volunteer program website gave us a template to use in order to draft our letter...it was a little overwhelming...we needed to choose graphics and borders as well as come up with material for the letter. We are both looking forward to getting our first book assignment and student match within the next month!
