Write Me!

I remember coming back to school after a summer vacation.  The teacher gave us a writing assignment on the first day of school.  I picked up my newly sharpened pencil and found that my hand muscles could barely wrap themselves around the pencil.  What was so easy three months ago was now a challenge!  While I'd read a lot of books and swum a lot of laps in the pool, I hadn't wrapped my hand around a pencil for weeks.  Find ways to keep your kids writing over the summer: grocery lists, stories, high frequency words, poems, vacation journals, facts about favorite topics, or letters to friends and families!  If your child writes a letter to Dr. Gile, she will write back! Email is best since US Mail isn't delivered again until July 29. Keep writing Lopez!
