National Day on Writing: #WriteMyCommunity

Writing is such an important part of our everyday lives. Without even realizing it, we communicate through some form of writing on a daily basis. Whether it’s through a poem, drawing, or even a text message to our friends and family— writing always finds a way to squeeze itself into our lives!

Through writing, we communicate our thoughts, feelings, and ideas. So, it’s no surprise that our nation has set aside one day each year to celebrate the act of writing: National Day on Writing! Every year, people around the U.S.A. share their thoughts, feelings, and ideas through some form of writing. This year, our class will be a part of this national conversation!

Each year, the National Day on Writing has a theme for writers so that we may have a united conversation. This year’s theme is “Write My Community.” People all over the nation will write about their communities and share with the world their thoughts, feelings, and ideas about their community. You will be a part of this conversation!
