Stocking full of letters
My son in in the service on a boat in the middle of no where.. anyhow...he was telling us that on Christmas they all got a stocking full of letters. His were from a second grade class and he loved reading them. They were a hit!! It gave them all something to talk about and really enjoyed them. They really do make a difference and bought so many smiles! Thank you to the teachers out there that have their class do this for our guys and gals!!!

I was also going to send him a quilt but he said no....since he would not be able to take it with him - they do not have a lot of room in their bags. So I sent him a pillow case that I made with left over materials of his daughters quilt. I told him he can leave it behind along with a few books that I sent him when he comes him. If that goes over well I will try and make a bunch of pillow cases for the crew next year.

Glad that those letters were received well. As a retired teacher, I remember having my second graders do that once or twice. It's a lot of work, but worth the effort to give someone else a smile.
