Barney Bear Backpack Family Letter

Dear Family,
Today, your child was selected to bring home Barney Bear. Barney Bear loves adventures and making new friends! He loves to read and listen to stories. Inside his backpack are:
1. Some of Barney's favorite books and tapes
2. Barney's tape player with an AC adapter
3. Barney Bear's Postcard Folder
4. Barney's markers and pencil
Take very good care of Barney's things. Put them all carefully in his backpack when you finish.
This evening, find a cozy place to read and listen to the stories with Barney Bear. Afterward, help your child fill out a postcard from Barney Bear. (See my example). Tell something special Barney did during his visit at your home. On the back of the postcard, draw a picture about Barney's visit. Place Barney's finished postcard in his folder. Return the backpack, with all Barney's things inside, to school tomorrow (or the next school day). Then, another child can also enjoy a visit from Barney Bear.
I hope you have fun with the Barney Bear this evening! If you have questions, please call me.
Sincerely, Mrs. Wise
