Dear Kinder families,
Attached is a blueprint to help your child write a personal narrative. A personal narrative is a real story that happened to your child. Please fill in the cover sheet and then write or type the story out. Top five stories will be submitted to a Brainstormer’s writing assembly where a few pieces will be picked to be performed to our school. This will be due on Friday, April 26th.
Thanks,
Ms. Mohamed
