Maya got a penpal!

Maya Rae is working hard on her reading and writing skills. I posted on a Yahoo group for a penpal for her. About a week later Maya got her very first letter from her new penpal, Hazel, from outside of Nashville. She is a cute little home schooled, Baha'i girl. She wrote a lovely little letter with beautiful penminship. When Maya got the letter she flumped on my bed and got right to reading it.
She composed a letter back to Hazel. She chose to type it. Over a few mornings she learned so much about the key board and basic computer skills. This is great practice in both reading and writing.

My girls, too, had pen pals found on the Internet years ago, and some of those families we have remained friends with. One is my friend Wendy in Maine

who Katie had been a penpal with her older daughter.

May you make some new friends who stick around for many years.
