Dear Mr. President with Mrs. Grooms' Room!

Hey everyone!    

I hope everyone had a great New Year!!  I know we have been getting right back into the swing of things.  President's Day is right around the corner!!  So let's celebrate and write a LETTER!!  A letter to the President!!! YEAH!  

When I was in the second grade, we had to write to the President.  Boy, was I nervous.  You had to make a good impression, right?  This is the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!!  You had to be able to write a letter discussing important political ideas and theories.  Debate international policies and create a plan for world peace.  AND you had to have great handwriting. 

Okay...okay... I KNOW I didn't write about political ideas, theories, or international policies!!!   But I did write to the President!!  And your students can too!  Having the opportunity to write to the President is wonderful chance to implement social studies into your writing unit and to practice writing letters.(Double cheer!) 

Here is the unit that I will be using for our President's Day unit.

You will find everything that you need in this little unit to write to the President:
There are posters, practice pages, writing organizers, and scaffolding writing papers!  It is a chance to take their writing through the writing process and show them how to write a letter.     

Here is a peak at what is inside...

• There are pages that you can use to introduce letter writing or anchor charts. We are fortunate enough to have a poster maker at my school.  (However, I love to use them on my Smartboard to introduce lessons, or practice with students.)  
• You can practice the parts of a letter.   
• Proof-read children's letters to the President . 
• You can check for understanding or comprehension of letter writing. 
• Students can use graphic organizers to help them brainstorm, and plan their letters to the President. 
• And there are writing papers for different levels of students, whether the level or age!!  Or you can scaffold their letters from the first draft while they are still learning how to write a letter, to their final draft...the one President Obama will be reading!
