Young Authors Celebration 2005
The Young Author's Celebration is our way of acknowledging the hard work and determination that our students have put forth in creating a piece of history, a book! This student publication of quality marks the culmination of their learning successes during Readers and Writers Workshop. The topics selected by individual student authors represent "things of importance" to them. The variety of works include all genre: poetry, riddles, informational books, fairy tales, realistic fiction, mysteries, adventure stories, fantasies, science fiction, and personal narratives. Throughout the week, many exciting activities occurred to commemorate this special occasion. It provided students with different forums to proudly share their stories. We congratulate our children and are very proud of their achievements!
