Writing

Draw a picture and write 1 or 2 sentences about your Easter holiday or about something you did on the weekend with your family.

Or

Staple a few pages together and have them make a book about their Easter. (We’ve done books in class and they love them. They just work on a page a day.)

Don’t forget to sound out the words you do not know and put your spaces between the words and use your sight words to help!
