le 3 nN (Students in Mrs. Nulton’s third grade class and Mrs. Roeder’s first grade class at the Dallas Elementary School recently enjoyed a day of writ- ing letters to Santa. As part of the third grade English lesson in letter writing, each third grader used all the ings he or she learned in very special letters. Thus, the first graders had wonderful partners in sharing this lesson. The letters were sent to Santa and the students are anxiously awaiting a reply to their letters. The Christmas spirit is alive and well at the Dallas Elemen- tary School and the children would like to wish all the read- ers of The Dallas Post a Merry Christmas. Printed here are copies of the letters, exactly as the students wrote them.) : Dear Santa, How is Rudolph? How are the elves? 1 want a Pount Puppy? I want seven Transformer?
