Dear students,
I have some of the same hobbies as you! I like to read, play with my friends, and play card games, just like some of you said in your letters. I also like to bake and decorate cakes. I took a class at JoAnn’s in December so I could learn how to make flowers and decorations for my cakes. I am also taking a class in school called Calligraphy. Calligraphy is a type of fancy writing that uses ink and special pens. I can’t wait to read your next letters!
Sincerely,
Olivia


I included two pictures to show the kids. One is a picture of a cake I made for a New Year's party, and the other is a poem I copied in Calligraphy for a Christmas present.


The kids sent the most adorable letters on Thursday! They each told me their name, hobbies, and asked me what I like to do for fun. They had some great hobbies, many of them relating to the recent "polar vortex". Also, almost half of them listed running as their favorite thing to do - I'm sure the teacher has her hands full with that class!
