I got mail!

I got two letters in the mail yesterday.

My name on the front, stamps: Old School Mail.

And not just any mail.

Letters from 2 fabulous 5 year old boys.

A crab to remember the fun that we had on Beach Day.  This friend is an expert beach explorer.  On one of our beach trips, he was organizing a group of older children getting crabs out of water between 2 big rocks.  I will always remember his happy confidence exploring crabs, and his curiosity about science stuff- "you do remember that I like to read non-fiction, don't you Ms Sandi?" and the fabulous creations that he made with bits and pieces that he found in the classroom.  

A love letter.  My friend hopes I am having a good summer and will see me soon.  I love him too.

At the end of the school year, I send a note home with my address and the promise that if the kid lets write me a letter, I will send one back.

A real reason to write.

Now that I have finished bragging about getting TWO letters from TWO handsome young men (who each own a bit of my heart), I need to get letter writing.

#Kinderblog has a summer blogging challenge.  

Each week a different word to inspire a post.

Last week the word was brag.
