Hi Susan, I have not been busy with 6 traits over the past month or two, =
but
am preparing for 2000, as our school is having  writing as a priority. I
have been introducing our staff to the program so I hope I can really
enthuse them al. 
I have enjoyed trialling the ideas this year and look forward to a new =
class
in Feb and beginning the program with them.
Regards from down under.

Hi Susan,

I think that all of us are caught up in the seasonal rush.  Our school =
ends
the semester in three weeks, so grades are in everyone's mind right now.

Our school has been chosen to take part in a program sponsored by Purdue
University called "Child's Play".  It is a program to encourage writing.
The group came to our school and talked to us about good writing.  They
brainstormed ideas with our kids and then took the ideas and made a story
and then a play.  It was a lot of fun for the kids, and they got to see =
how
the thinking process works.  In December, we will send our own stories to
them.  They will come back in the spring with a play that came from one of
our student's stories.  I hope it will add to our kids' understanding of
authorship.
Julia, grade 3 in Indiana
