Letter Writing!
Today we want you to write a letter to NASA asking to be one of there astronauts. You need to persuade them! Tell them what you will be good at, what you are like as a person, why you want to go and what you hope to see. A grown-up can help you but try to write it independently if possible. Then your grown-up can check it and you can correct it or make it even better.
