Summer Writing For Lower School Grades 2 - 5

SUMMER WRITING FOR LOWER SCHOOL

GRADES 2 – 5

Dear Parents and Students,

This summer, we are introducing a new requirement in Lower School. To

help students continue to be confident in writing, we are assigning a writing

obligation for students in grades 2 – 5. Experts agree writing during the

summer will help students jump back into school more easily at the end of

summer break.

All it takes is a quiet place, ideas, paper and pencil or a computer. Why not

become an author? Try to write several times a week. Writing is like

playing ball or jumping rope: You get better the more you practice.

Students:

Step 1: Think

Think about what you are going to write about. You can do this almost

anywhere. Some students keep their ideas in a notebook so that when they

have time to write, they can get started more easily. Try using a web

diagram to organize your thoughts.
