The letters are here!

At the beginning of the year our class was writing friendly letters.  We decided it was more fun to write to real people!  I promised the kiddos I would mail their letters to whoever they wanted so they went out in August and September.  Well..........we've got some responses!
Alberto wrote to George Lucas and he sent him some Star Wars cards and a bookmark!

Maddy wrote to Princess Kate who in turn wrote her a letter and enclosed a picture!

Jacob, Frances, Quinton, and Keira all wrote to President Obama.  They received a letter, picture of him, a picture of his family, and a picture of the White House dogs, Bo and Sunny!
