A Wish and a List

Well, it is that time of year again. The time when teachers do a happy dance and put away the lessons for a bit. The time when the little darlings are too preoccupied with what's under the tree to get any homework, housework, or any other sort of work done.

So, dear reader-teacher, Merry Christmas! Happy New Year! 

However, there are those who need a little help keeping the little darlings busy for two (yes, two) weeks. Just in case, below is a list of holiday writing prompts. It's not Scrooge-like, not the Grinch who passes out writing assignments over break. No, it is a loving parent who has TOO MUCH TO DO!

Go ahead, let your little darlings fall in love with writing! (Make this assignment a no-correct, no red-pen, no-worries one.)

The List:

• My favorite part of Christmas is...
• If I had a pet reindeer...
• My one Christmas wish is...
• Last year I remember Christmas morning...
• If I could invent a new toy...
• My favorite Christmas song is... (because...)
• My favorite Christmas movie is... (because...)
• My favorite Christmas cookie is...
• I can't wait to...
• On New Year's Eve I am going to...
• All I want for Christmas is...

By all means, over break check out some of the excellent Language Arts units for your little darlings. Start the New Year off right with just a CLICK!

See you next year!!!
