Great+Mail+Race

The Great American Mail Race is a project in which students “race” to get letters across the country to as many different states as possible before the end of the school year. This ongoing activity will reinforce letter writing skills, grammar, punctuation, and sentence structure, as well as map skills in a fun and interesting way!

Students wrote to a school in the state they are creating their report. The other state was randomly chosen form the remaining 25 states. Next students went to the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI) website to choose two schools that they would like to contact in each state. They wrote their letters telling about themselves, their school (Achiever Christian School), their friends and families, and about San Jose, CA.

Envelopes were addressed to Any Fifth Grade Class, using the ACSI website, [].

If you would like to send us a letter or postcard our school address is:

Achiever Christian School c/o Mrs. Truong 540 Sands Drive San Jose, CA 95125

Thank You! Mrs.Truong
