In a few short weeks, many schools will begin winding down the school year in preparation for a summer break. I remember, as a third-grade teacher, I enjoyed this time because it meant making summer writing plans, practicing writing outside, and creating summer writing kits for students to build on the momentum they had created throughout the year.
