Dear Grandma,
I lost my first tooth yesterday! I bit into
my apple at lunch time and it came right out!
I put the tooth under my pillow and the Tooth
Fairy left me two dollars. I can’t wait for my
next loose tooth!
Love,
Gabe
Now let’s see if you’ve got it!
A letter that you write to
someone you know is
called a _________ letter.
A Friendly Letter!
Let’s try another one!
I should always write the _______ on my
paper in the top right-hand corner so
the person knows when I wrote to them!
The Date!
What does a person write in the body of the friendly letter?
The message you are sharing with the person!
Maybe I can stump you here!
This part of the letter is below the body, but above the signature. Can you guess what part of the friendly letter this is?
The
Closing!
Okay Smarties…
This part of the letter is the last thing you write and can
be referred to as your “John Hancock!”
Your Signature!
