These mail sending activities are really motivating the children to write, to draw and to color. The most important is that they want to know how to write their friend's name. I can see on their face, when they were writing mail-letters, what a full enthusiasm face. One student can write 3 to 4 letters a day. Haven't counted those'd been written at home. How cool it is. I also saw that one girl has a small cute notebook with colorful pages in her bag, ready to be ripped off one by one page when the girl want to write a letter. Last week I found that they only wrote letters to their class mates, this week they were writing letters across to other classes. Even in different levels. Surely also across the gender :). That's pretty amazing.
My teacher-mate, teaches PG class, told me that she got many mails from other class students. And the letter it's quite interesting, it writes ,"Miss D........, you are so beautiful, just looked like Cinderella" or "Miss D......, you're looked like a ferinses" (it means Princess). it's a sweet letter, makes everybody happy :).
Deep in their mind, it's so simple, the "beautiful" word is belong to Cinderella or princess, and the "handsome" word is belong to the prince. And it's very true, indeed.
Since we have mail-pockets, our class' life is much more fun and surprising :)

This is soooo exciting to read! I love the little notes to the teachers too:) I am thrilled to hear they are interested in learning to spell each other's names too!
Keep up the great work:)
