Dear Target Friends,

I have missed you very much!  I am sad that we were not able to celebrate the end of the Target year together with Target Theater and some time to talk about all the great things we did together this year. I need you to help Charlie Bones and myself have some closure for this year and give us some feedback for next year.  (Parents, Charlie is Target mascot.  He happens to be a life size plastic skeleton. We dress him up and use our divergent thinking skills when we write stories and discuss him in class.)

Please write Charlie Bones a friendly letter (you can address him Dear Charlie) in a 3-2-1 format:

3- Tell Charlie three things that you like about or things we do in Target.

2- Tell Charlie two things or activities you would like to do in Target next year.

1 – Tell Charlie one way you plan to use your Target Brain this summer. Then tell Charlie one way you think he is using his Target Brain this summer!

You write more things but that what your letter must have.  Find an envelope (or make one), put your letter inside, seal it, and put it into your Target Home Folder until August.  Charlie will have a mailbox you can put your letter when we return.  He can’t wait to hear from you!

Virtual Hugs,

Mrs. Parsons 😉

So many great memories have happened in Target!  Now is your time to write a tribute to this special place.  Plan a farewell letter that will include all the things in your heart that you feel for Target.

Below are some ideas you may want to include in your speech.  Remember to include specific examples if you can so we can all walk down memory lane!
