This magazine features personal narratives written by students at the beginning of their third- and fourth-grade years.

These writing samples serve as a benchmark and as an opportunity for growth in their written communication skills. Based on these writings, students will receive feedback designed to help them with self-editing, sentence construction, spelling, word choice, and titling, as well as grammar, punctuation, typography, and capitalization rules. They are also gaining experience in typing and computer use. Each subsequent magazine this year will have increasingly higher expectations for student excellence in writing.

We hope that you will enjoy this magazine full of wonderful stories the girls have authored about the memories and challenges that are important to them.
