“GREAT MAIL RACE”
We have received a letter from a fifth grade class in Ann Arbor Michigan inviting us to participate in the Great Mail Race. The idea is to write to a fifth grade class in each of the fifty states. We will be writing to the class in Ann Arbor as well as to other fifth grade classes in the other states. It will be exciting to find out about schools in other states and compare them to ours.
