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.
