Mrs. Talley, a Henry Clay reading specialist, presented me with this wonderful writing opportunity. Our class has been awarded the chance to partner with an education class from Randolph-Macon and participate in a secret pen pal program. As a Randolph-Macon alum, I couldn't turn down the offer!! Besides, can you think of better way to have my students practice their letter writing skills?!
We have been writing back and forth with one another for the past few weeks and will continue to do so until mid-November. The students light up on Monday mornings when they see the box of journals has returned. They are eager to read what their pen pals have written and to write them back as well.
Thank you for sending in pictures, stickers, and other supplies to help up decorate our covers. We will save our personal pictures for just before our "reveal" mid-semester. Take a look at the fun we had decorating the front covers of our journals!

| Here's David showing us both covers of his notebook. The Randolph-Macon students decorated the back and left the front for us! |

| Aidan says the "blur" adds to his artistic-ness! |

| Can you guess who's who?! |

| Almost all finished!! It was fun to see their creative sides come out. |
It isn't hard to tell which one is Bree's!! Sounds like a great idea, pen pals are fun:)
