WRITING 

1. Journal Write: ​ Have your child answer the following questions/prompts on a separate 
piece of paper. This will allow them to practice narrative, informational, and opinion 
writing. 
○ Prompts: 
■ Should schools have school uniforms? Explain why or why not. 
■ Choose an experience during spring break to write a story about. 
(Remember: You are the main character)  
■ Write about how to stay healthy during the coronavirus outbreak. Make 
sure to include details.  
**Highlighted = Highly Recommended** 
 
Although it is optional, I highly recommended that your child do the activities listed here. ​Having 
your child read and write for at least 20-30 minutes each day, will be extremely important for 
him/her to keep the skills and strategies that they have been learning this school year fresh in 
their minds and continue building on the skills as well.

Sincerely,
