Ahh, fall leaves blow and a new school year begins. Below is my second letter to the Kindergarten class I write to in Maine. I will hopefully be starting up a correspondence with a middle school class in Massachusetts soon, but it’s unsure, I’ll keep you updated!

 

Painting on the front of the card I sent.

 

Dear Mrs. Goodrich’s Kindergarten Class,

Hey guys! How are you all doing? I’m well but I’m really busy lately. There are a bunch of meetings I have to go to, so I’m dong a lot of traveling lately.

One of the places my travels took me was an artist’s gallery in the north of the country. The guy I met did the painting on the front of this card. It’s a watercolor painting of a lady with a baby on her back, carrying a basket of fruit on her head. Women here always carry their babies on their backs tied on with a piece of cloth. The babies all look very comfortable! They also carry heavy things on their heads. At first, I thought it would be difficult, but now I carry water on my head every day!

Talk to you all soon, enjoy the fall colors!

Your friend, Amanda
