First, the class says the Pledge of Allegiance. Next, they finish their 

bell work and turn it into the bin. 

Finally, class starts with writing workshop. During writing workshop 

in Ms. Birch's class, the first graders have the options to draw 

pictures, write stories and poems, or even write a letter to a friend or 

family member. 

When Jack was all done, he delivered his letter. To 

Natasha’s surprise, he gave his letter to their other 

classmate Kyle. Natasha was confused, why would Jack 

want to give such a pretty letter to Kyle? Why had he not 

given it to her, or Samantha, or even her friend Gina?

Natasha had to get to the bottom of this. 

She marched right up to Mrs.Birch’s desk and told her what had 

happened,

 “Jack wrote a letter to Kyle” she explained to Mrs.Birch. 

Mrs.Birch looked puzzled, “Well,” she said to Natasha, “we must fix 

this at once”. 

Natasha and Mrs.Birch went to Jack’s desk to ask what he had 

done.

“Jack, Natasha tells me you chose to write a letter to Kyle today”. 

Jack looked confused. 

“Yeah Mrs.Birch, you told us we could write to anyone we wanted. 

Kyle is so funny and kind, so I wrote him a letter”. 

“Jack,” said Mrs.Birch, “I think it would be better choice if you wrote 

this kind of letter to your mom, or dad, or another girl in the class. 

Maybe Kyle, another boy, wasn't the best choice for your writing 

time today”. 

Jack dropped his head, he was so sad. Jack thought that he was just 

writing a letter to a friend who he admired, but Mrs.Birch and Natasha 

didn't seem to approve of this. 

From then on, 

Jack did not write letters to his classmates at all.
