Template Letters for Miles!

In the past, I never used to write entire posts dedicated to template letters. I think it's probably because I've never had as many little kiddos as I do now. My ranks of kids under 8 sure have grown! Making whole posts for just template form letters seems to be a great way to stay organized. I have quite a few of them to share with you today, so here goes nothing!

Let's begin with a letter from Tern, who is from Thailand. His letter is written on the About Me template. The letter is dated September 30th, 2017. Tern is 5 years old.

_______________________________________________________________________________


1. I am the only child in my family. 
2. My name was given to me by my: Grandparents
3. I am 107 cm tall. 
4. I weigh 16.6 kg
5. I am: Right-handed 
6. One thing I do really well is: Playing Sports 

Hello, 

I am Ms. Sabaiporn, a project staff member. I am writing to you on behalf of Tern. Tern would like to thank you for your letter. I'm now at his house. He most likes to wear an army outfit. He ate rice and grilled chicken today. His house is a two story house, in which the first floor is made of cement and the second floor is wood. In his spare time, he likes to go to the rice field and pretend to go fishing with his friend Tonkla. The project he's been attending is a church in which the second floor is used as a worship place and the bottom floor is used as classrooms for the children. Tern says he's never seen a solar eclipse before, but there have been eclipses in Thailand. The last party Tern went to was his distant cousin Bonus' birthday party. His grandmother would like to ask you to please pray for him as he often plays out in the rain. It's been raining here every day. Tern would like to ask what you do for a living. He also thanks you for supporting him.

Next is a letter from my little guy Dedilhomme (who I totally wish went by his middle name Antoine, for the sake of easy pronunciation), who lives in Haiti. This letter is all about his Typical Week.

Dedilhomme is 5 years old and he wrote this letter on September 25th, 2017.

Dedilhomme is glad to greet you in the name of the Living God. He is doing well and he hopes that you are too. He says he most likes to wear black clothes. He ate some rice today. The house where he lives has the shape of a triangle and it has three rooms. His project is under construction. They are building some new classrooms. It has an office too. There are now 5 classrooms. Dedilhomme says he likes to read in his spare time. He laughs with joy when he gets a new pair of shoes. The last time he attended a party was in June. His best friend's name is Makendy. The advice he gives to younger children is to not be unruly. May God bless you! Dedilhomme lives with his father and mother. He attends school Monday-Friday. His teacher is good because she is patient and tolerant.
