ReplyDeleteDear Mikaya,
ReplyDeleteWe really miss you too. I hope that you're doing well at your new school. Everyone asked me to tell you that they miss you too. As your former teacher, I want for you to practice on your capitalization. Tip: Names of people, places or things (proper nouns) or the first word in the beginning of a sentence is capitalized. I love you dearly and do your best always.
Love,
Mrs. Bridges
