5th Grade Essay Contest
The 5th Grade Essay Contest was created to encourage writing abilities in 5th Grade Students. It is also a wonderful way for students to show appreciation and love for the important older people in their lives, be they grandparents or someone close who enhances their life on a daily basis.
FREA Unit Members are encouraged to spread the word about this contest, encouraging current teachers to help their students enjoy learning to tell a story about a loved one, as they help the future of literate writing.
Available tools for the 5th Grade Essay Contest are:
- 5th Grade Essay Contest Tool Kit -Information about the contest and necessary judging forms
- 5th Grade Essay Contest Teacher Forms (Can be tailored to each unit upon request to the FREA Office.)
- 5th Grade Essay Contest Poster (Can be tailored to each unit upon request to the FREA Office. 8.5x11.)
