thanks
hims
himself! Siebert’s class was learning how to
write friendly letters and how to express
pers
personal opinions in their writing.
Siebert, a lifelong fan of Disney and Mickey
Mouse, had students write to their favorite
M
Disney character. In the student letters, each
D
student expressed their own opinion why
s
that particular character was the most important.
After
Afte students addressed the letters, Siebert
placed
plac them in the mail knowing that there was
possibility of receiving correspondence back
a po
from the characters.
“In the day of texting and emails, it was
good for the students to see how writing
letters is beneficial. This was my first year
doing this activity, but it won’t be my last,” she
said. Siebert believes writing is an important
piece of a child’s education to learn how to
communicate their ideas and opinions clearly,
concisely and effectively.
A short time after dropping the letters in
the mail, the entire class received a magical
message from Mickey Mouse! Mickey and his
friends also autographed postcards for each
student in Siebert’s class.
