Writing is a very important skill. The more you practice writing, the more confident you feel and the better your writing becomes! I want to encourage you to keep a journal. We will be writing in a personal journal at school and you may write in it at home as well. Write about anything that interests you. You can write about sports games or practice, school, why you are mad, something you wish I knew about you, things you wonder about, what you did over the weekend, what makes you happy, etc. Be creative with your ideas. You can illustrate too. Just get in there and try!
