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

Dear Eric,

            Thank you for the last letter you sent to me. Easter is coming up and I’m very excited. Do you celebrate Easter? My family does. On Easter I wake up and go down stairs to see Easter baskets filled with little gifts. Some of the gifts are like jump ropes, chalk, clothes, and candy. Usually the Easter Bunny or Peter Cottontail will leave little chocolate eggs around the house for my siblings and I to find. Then later on that day we go to my grandmothers and have a big Easter egg hunt around her house outside. There are plastic eggs and inside of them are candy and money. In some of the eggs are little slips of paper that say prize on them. Then at the end, my grandmother will ask if anybody has a prize written on the paper and she will give us like toys for the girls and candy for the boys. 

Our school is having a field trip to Washington DC. We are staying over night in a hotel for four days. When we come back from Washington DC we have April Vacation. April Vacation is a whole week long. (I think). Anyway, my friends are very excited so are my sister and I.

Here are some questions you can answer in the next letter you send. Do you celebrate Easter? Does your school go on any exciting field trips, if so where? Do you get a vacation how long?

                                                                                  Hugs, Erin

Hey Miquel,

        How are you? I’m doing pretty good considering the weather. It stills snows once in a while but now that spring is coming the weather is getting warmer so the snow is melting away! And because spring is coming that means that our school’s annual field trip is coming too! Every year the eight grade class goes to Washington D.C. I’m very excited about this field trip because we will be gone for four days! Does your school go on cool field trips like mine?? If so, what kind?

        Another cool thing about spring is Easter! Since we have Easter our school gets Good Friday off! Every Easter my family and I go to my Aunt’s house to eat our Easter dinner and find our colorful eggs. When we get home we boil tons of eggs and color them with all sorts of colors. Do you and your family celebrate Easter? If so what do you do over the vacation?

        Things have been going good for me… some interesting things have happened to. Like now that our regular basketball season is over we have All-Star Basketball! Our team is great we have everything that you need… height, speed and good shots. Our practices have been fun so far, but you never know they could turn bad. What type of activities are you doing right now?

Your friend,

Letter from Brian

Hey Pau!

 I hope I get a letter from you soon.  Do you get a Winter Break?  You’re very lucky that you don’t get any snow, here it’s nice sometimes, but everybody is ready for spring!!  Easter is the next holiday here, well if you celebrate it.  Do you celebrate Holy Week?  For Easter we only get Good Friday off, but in April we get a whole week.  Most people go down to Florida for that week.  

Hope you write back soon,

Bridget
