postcard

When you're away from home, it's fun to send postcards. They're quick to write, and sometimes even have goofy pictures on them. Take a look at the parts of a postcard, then write your own. Roll over the text below for more information.

Dear Buster,
Greeting: Says hello, and shows who you're writing to.
We're at Grandpa Dave's, and I just heard that your picture was in the Elwood City Times. Totally cool! We're having a great time here. We helped Grandpa Dave paint his fence today. It was tiring, but fun.
Body: Here's what you're telling the other person.
See you soon,
Arthur
Closing and Signature: Says good-bye, and says who you are.
