I will definitely try these suggestions! I have a 3rd grader who absolutely hates writing and make excuses not to write during class. Either she has to go to the nurse or to the restroom or somewhere during writing time. When we discussed this at home together, she broke down and just sobbed about how much she hated to write and does not want to do it. This was the situation last year in 2nd grade as well – only now it has gotten much worse. I am very concerned about my child. The 3rd grade teacher explained that my child has to pass a writing test in grade 4. At this point I am very concerned that passing that writing test in grade 4 will not happen. All of her other grades are “A’s.”
