Why Not Write Wednesday: School Year Memories

Today is one of the last Why Not Write Wednesday's of the school year. It's a good time to pause and think back on all the fun times you've had this year. Was there a field trip or special activity that you really loved? Do you have special memories of hanging out with classmates or with your teacher?

Now is the perfect time to sit down and capture some of these memories on paper. If you can't remember a specific moment, try writing about what makes your teacher special. Or maybe you are worried about how next year will be different? Capture your worries on paper and you might just find you feel a little better.
