This is the last week of school for many students and teachers. Hurrah for summer! Why not have your student(s) practice fostering an attitude of thankfulness and write a thank you letter to someone who helped them over the past school year.
The letter could be to a piano teacher, a group leader, or even another student who helped with a math assignment.
1. Have your student draft a letter.
2. Read the letter and make notes regarding spelling and other grammatical errors.
3. Have your student rewrite the letter.
4. Make a photocopy of the letter for your student's scrapbook or file.
5. Send the letter off to the person it is written to. If your student is older, have them address the envelope and mail it. If you student is very young, they will need more help.
Don't forget to check back from time to time for some fun summer journal ideas. Keep those kids writing!
