Product Description

Summer Writing Activities Challenge for Kids with Digital Option in Google Slides:

These files now include a digital distance learning option in Google Slides.

This Summer Writing Challenge BUNDLE contains 2 products designed to keep students interested in writing during the summer months. These two products are included in this summer writing activities bundle:

• 30 DAY SUMMER WRITING CHALLENGE FOR 1st-2nd GRADE
• 30 DAY SUMMER WRITING CHALLENGE FOR 3rd-4th GRADE

SUMMER WRITING ACTIVITIES CHALLENGE FOR 1ST-2ND GRADE:

This “SUMMER EDITION” 30-Day Writing Challenge for 1st and 2nd grade contains a variety of engaging writing material for your students. There are 30 different writing activities (2 sheets per activity, created to be copied back-to-back and bound into a book, if you choose). For a total of 60 writing pages, you will see the following activities:

• 2 opinion essays
• 1 explanatory essay
• 1 informative essay
• 2 descriptive writing activities
• 2 narrative writing activities
• 1 “how-to” essay
• 5 journal prompts
• 5 story starters
• 2 recipes activities
• 3 newspaper articles
• 1 packing list activity
• 2 book reports
• 1 biography
• 1 restaurant review
• 1 autobiography

These writing activities are purposeful, but fun. Students will find that completing all of them is challenging, but rewarding. Some teachers choose to stretch the challenge to 60 days so that students have 2 days to complete each activity. I also reward my students with a pizza lunch party if they complete the writing challenge (for the summer challenge, I plan the pizza party during the first or second week back to school).
