Sloane’s Pen Pal

At the beginning of the school year, Sloane started sending notes via Esme to Mrs Batt, a literacy resource teacher who worked with her at Cooper. 

Esme started coming home with letters back for Sloane, asking her to be a pen pal. The two have been exchanging letters, notes, little cards and even gifts or poems for months. This is excellent motivation to get Sloane writing for leisure, and she is absolutely chuffed every time Esme comes home bearing a new response. They squeal excitedly and dart upstairs to read the letters together. Last week, Mrs Batt sent Sloane a journal notebook. Sloane promptly tore out the first page to write a letter to Mrs Batt. Bless dedicated wonderful educators for the impact they make on the future. Sloane feels so loved, and Esme feels super important on the errand of messenger. The world needs more of this wholesome goodness in it.
