Our pen pals in Michigan loved our valentines, and they wrote back. That's what pen pals do.
They're the MAC PACK. How cool is that?
Dear friends in the Aqua Room,
Thank you for our Valentines. We are so happy to be your Pen Pals!
Love,
The MAC PAC
What is it about pen pals? If you ever had a pen pal, you know; the thrill of getting a letter from someone you've never met, and then writing back, is a communication that emailing can't begin to match. It's bonding. Pen to paper is emotional. Your heart comes out of that pen. When the reader holds your letter and reads the words, it's a cresting ocean wave, in the same way.
Yes, wow!
For young children, there's more. Writing letters and communicating with other children is huge in developing social and emotional skills. In today's world, giving children a strong sense of self and also of others, is #1 in growing kindness and goodness and giving.
And that can all happen with a pen pal.
