Daily writing prompts~

Dylan is writing every day for more practice. He is doing very well this year. I have seen a big difference in it from last year.
These are what we use to help us with ideas. I really like them because it is accomplishing two things at once. Not only is he getting practice with his writing but they are educational as well.
