Teach Children How to Write a Prayer
This is a template and lesson I have used to teach students how to write a prayer. I have included examples created by 6-8 year old children. They have written these prayers completely independently. We then glued the prayers to construction paper and decorated with stickers. At our school, each class takes a turn to say Morning Prayer on the announcements for a few weeks. My students are so proud to write and share their own prayers.

Importance of learning English language arts
English language arts (ELA) concepts — reading, writing, listening, and speaking — empower students to become effective communicators, critical thinkers, and lifelong learners. They are the foundation for all other types of learning as students must rely on ELA skills to master content from other subject areas and communicate what they’ve learned.
Strong reading skills can help students make sense of written content, and gather information for further analysis. Writing skills can help students articulate their ideas, construct arguments, and synthesize information. And speaking and listening skills empower students to clearly present their ideas, participate in group discussions, and collaborate with their classmates. This is why teaching English language arts is critically important for student’s success in school and beyond.
