Here are some ideas and examples to help you do this month's writing:
What is a pen pal? Pen Pals are friends who live in different cities or countries and write letters or emails to each other. Usually, they have never met in person.
What should I write about? Imagine you have never met this person. You should ask them questions about their life and tell them all about yourself. What are your hobbies? What do you look like? What things do you love/hate? What about your family? Use your imagination!

Example letter:
Dear Pen Pal,
Hi! My name is Sophie. I'm 10 years old and I'm in the 3rd grade at Walnut Elementary School. I am very excited to have a new pen pal!
First, I'll tell you about myself. I'm quite tall, I have blonde hair, and I have green eyes. I have two older brothers (Sam and Joseph) and a dog named Sparky. We all live together in an apartment in Barcelona, near the sea.
I love football and volleyball, and in my free time I like to go to the cinema with my family or ride my bike in the park. I also like to read comic books. Do you like comics?
Now I have some questions for you! Where do you live? Do you like your school? Do you have any brothers or sisters? Oh, and what's your favorite food?
I hope you write back soon! I look forward to hearing from you!
All the best,
Sophie
