At the end of the school year, as we were helping students make plans for summer reading, third-grade teacher Kelli Banet shared a Summer Writing Toolkit she created for her students-with a little help from NotebookLM. The toolkit is filled with simple, engaging ideas to keep kids writing all summer long. I asked Kelli if I could share some of those ideas with all of you as inspiration for your July slicing. Thank you, Kelli!
So, happy Tuesday!
Write. Share. Give.

Jennifer, I never heard of a 4th of July being celebrated with balloons. It is a fabulous tradition that you shared with us. I wish I was there with you, but I can say I was with you in spirit as I read your post.
