Email is an important communication tool used in school and business. Today, you will learn how to write an email that is clear, respectful, and easy to understand.

Parts of an Email

Body: Explain why you are writing

Example

To: Parent or tutor’s email
Subject: My Tuesday Learning Update

Hi Mom,

Today I learned how to create a basic email. I also practiced multiplication, division, and typing. Multiplication was easier for me because I remembered my number facts. I need more practice with division, but I am improving.

Thank you,
Sylver
