Once we finish our letters to our friends, we will finish our letter writing by writing a letter to an incoming 4th grade student for the next school year. I have two friends that have done this over the years in their fifth grade classes, and I think it's a very nice end-of-year wrap up.
Even though we aren't that close to the end of the year, we aren't that far from it either. While we are on this letter writing topic, now seems as good a time as any to write those letters. That will be one end-of-year task done!
Students can start by introducing themselves, telling their reader what they enjoyed about 4th grade, what was a challenge for them this year, and offer some words of advice. This is a nice reflective piece that helps students as they gain an understanding of just how much they have achieved this year. By completing the letters now, they can bask in their achievements for the remaining weeks of the year.
