Here's a preview of the text for the writing challenge, when you're ready click the start button above:

Tomorrow, I'm going back to school and I think that I am ready! Last weekend, I went to the supermarket with my mother to buy my new school supplies. It's always been my favourite part! We followed the official list, of course, but I was also able to choose a new school bag. I adore it! Yesterday, I prepared my pencil case and my mother covered all my books. I also chose my outfit for tomorrow. I'm very impatient to see my friends again!

Getting that for you now...
