I always loved the Christmas special, Yes Virginia, There is a Santa Claus. The story was based on a true event in which a little girl wrote to the newspaper editor to find out if there really was a Santa Claus. CBS has animated the story again and will premiere it on December 11. I thought it would be a great time to share some resources that go with this delightful story. An opportunity to teach letter and newspaper writing may be just around the corner when using these resources.

I have done the Macy's letter writing campaign for the past few years and my students LOVE it. This is a great way to show compassion and it matches multiple GLEs. 🙂
