The mini lesson was lead by the help of a KWL chart. We focused on the elements needed to write a personal letter to someone. We talked about how we need to date the letter, address who we are sending the letter to and also how important it is to include a signature at the bottom.
I modeled how to write a letter with the help and input of my students. Next, the kiddos broke off on their own to get writing! Check out some of the finished products below. These letters made me tear up. :)

What are some ways you incorporate the holidays into your Writer's Workshop?
Best,
