Calling all parents, summer is the time for fun and relaxation for everyone, esp the kids. However, you don’t want them to lose some of the writing skills that they learned during the school year. Here are some fun things to do to keep their creative juices. flowing.
When I was a kid I remember having a pen pal in France that I kept in contact with for many years, I so enjoyed getting her letters, she understood English. Little did I know that communicating to her in this manner would help to improve my writing skills. One year my students had penpals from all around the world and they loved hearing from them.
