Making a calendar page with the name of the month, days of the week, and holidays is a fun way to see the month take shape. For third graders, it's a great way to identify those words that are always capitalized.
Make a Wish Box!
This holiday season, ask your child, and the rest of the family, to share their thoughts by writing one-sentence "Holiday Wishes". Your child will practice her sentence development, and may get a whole new appreciation of the holiday season!
