A Summer for “Goodbye…Hello…”

When I was a teacher (eons ago), one of my favourite writing assignments to give students came with the change of seasons. The idea was to write a “Goodbye…Hello…” piece based on things they were leaving behind and things they were looking ahead to. Something like, depending on the season:

Goodbye hockey. Hello baseball.

Goodbye sandals. Hello boots.

The kids came up with great “Goodbye… Hello…” list
