Reflection Letters

This afternoon your third grader will bring home a reflection letter with new FCAs. They are:

Thoughtful Response - Your child should respond to the letter you wrote last week. I told them that writing letters was almost like a conversation. One person says something, the next person responds to what they said. Therefore, you should read a paragraph that responds to what you wrote last week.

3+ Specific Details - Your child should continue to include at least 3 specific details about one thing they did in school this week.

Letter Format - I introduced the children to a friendly letter format. They are expected to use that format as they write. (The date on the right, a comma after the greeting, etc...)


Please be sure to respond to your child's letter each week. I know that life can be hectic and there never seems to be enough time, but please write back even if it's only 4-5 sentences. (Please print if possible. Third graders can't read cursive
yet.:o)
