Here you are some of the letters we’ve received from our e-pals in Connecticut.

Hi! What’s up?

My name is Kylie. I live in Connecticut. My favorite sport is soccer. Do you have a favorite sport? I have many pets in my home. I have two cats, two dogs, a fish, and a bird. I used to have more pets. I live in a family of four (including me). I have a sister, mom, and dad. We all like to go swimming.

On the weekends, we eat together and listen to music at night. It is a lot of fun. I celebrated Christmas with my family this year. What do you celebrate? I got a guitar, clothes, and an I pod with some other things.

What do you do during your free time or for fun? I really like swimming and playing soccer. We will be sending you our pictures soon! This spring I am going to a concert. My favorite band is on tour, and I am very excited. Going to concerts is my favorite hobby. I like going to concerts even more than I like playing soccer and swimming.

Sincerely,

Kylie

Hi,

How was your Holiday? I enjoyed mine very much. It was nice having some time on my own away from school for a little while. I hope you enjoyed your holiday as well. For the last few days here in Connecticut, it has been almost 50° Fahrenheit, which is an unusually high temperature for this time of year. What is the weather like where you live? I would be interested to know. Now, for me it is back to school until February vacation, which I am already looking forward to. After February vacation, there are only a few random days off here and there until summer vacation. I am about halfway through 8^th grade now, and next year I will be going up to the High School. I am a little nervous about this, since the High School is a lot larger than the Middle School, where I am now. Talk to you again soon!

William
