We had a special meeting October 23 so the girls could narrow their focus for a Bronze Project. I can't even tell you how cool this meeting was! I didn't expect it would be all that exciting, since it involved them writing letters, but it was!
It seems the girls felt empowered learning to write REAL business letters like adults to local organizations, asking how we could help. They each put their own spin on their letters, which was also very gratifying to see. I can remember back a few years ago, when writing sentences for these girls was a struggle. Now they are able to write persuasive business letters! Amazing to see how they've progressed. Hopefully this is a skill they'll be able to use as they get older, too.
We had each girl write a letter, and some that finished early wrote more than one. We only used first names in the letters and had everyone respond to my home address. We've heard back from several of the organizations and plan to do projects with more than one of them!
