Pen Pals?

[wonderfullisa]

Messaging you! Wasn't on for a few days.

Okay I am putting out a last call of sorts. I will be printing my list and trying to match up very soon. After that, you could still sign up, but I would likely have a hard time finding a match. So PM now if you want to join in!

If you haven't already, let me know how often you would like to send, when your school lets out and starts again. You can do that either here on this thread or by PM, either way.

I'd prefer every other week but will do weekly, my summer kids will start the week of June 20th and usually start back the week before Labor Day(or maybe a bit earlier, not sure)
Thanks Thrifty!!

My girls are in school until the end of June and don't go back until September. But we can start anytime.

I'll also add that we will probably aim for every week but end up every second. ::

I think we are going to get a map to 'see' where our pen pals are. Sort of adding on to the other thread about travelling the world. Learn about where they are, etc.

School gets out in mid June and starts back up in September here. We are flexible with how much we write

I am matching people up, so if anyone hasn't signed up and wants to, now is the time. As of right now, I am short 4 young kiddos to send pictures and maybe be scribed for.

If anyone wants to be added, now is the time! I am not excluding anyone or any age.

[Thriftylady]

Okay, I am going to cut off sign up for this on 5/5/16.

Luvnmykidz, Please send me your mailing address so I can finish matching you up!

I sent you a PM, I am trying to match you up. I need the names of the children (matched up with ages please) and the mailing address.

[Thriftylady]

For the rest of you....

I have matches mostly made. Some of you will have more than one provider to pen pal with, just due to the way the number of children and ages matched up. As soon as I get things finalized, I will be sending you PMS with information on your pen pals. It will then be up to you to contact that provider(s) to work out the finer details on how you would like to proceed.

Please if you signed up, follow through with this, as the children are probably looking forward to getting mail, and we don't want to upset them! Also if any of you have teen children who would like to participate let me know. I have one person right now who mentioned this and I see no reason why provider's children can't do this also if they would like. Since they will be older once I match them up, they can do their own thing I guess!

[Thriftylady]

Okay! Everyone who signed up should have gotten a PM. If you have questions or if I missed a child let me know. Other than that please get with your partner provider(s) in order to decide how often to send, when to start and stop and such.

If you send treats or gifts, please either talk to your partner or send enough for their whole group, we don't want upset kiddos! I am sure you can find ways around that though!

Most of all, have fun! Send homemade cards, letters, pictures you color whatever you want! The only rules are those that you and your partner(s) make! If you decide to go past summer, that is fine also. I am just getting everyone started! Make your own rules, or have none at all!
