In my IG classes(2nd-8th) we studied and wrote different forms of writing(?). It's late. We won several local, district and state competitions.

One of my outstanding students told her mother that she was so glad that we wrote so much, especially creative writing, in IG class. My former student said that in high school they did not write. She told her mom that if it had not been for all the writing in the IG classes she would have been lost in college.

When her mom told me this, it gave me one of those "Golden Moments" that a teacher, this teacher anyway, cherishes/cherished.

Any time the kids wrote, I wrote, too. When they read, I read. I did not get much(like none) of my work done in class when they were writing or reading, but it seemed to be a positive influence on them that I was writing and reading with them.
DeAnn Congratulations on a successful writing program! I teach kindergarten and the goal for the class is to write a simple story with at least three sentences. Then I type them up and add a cover. Students illustrate the book and then read it to the class. The kids love the published book and the attention of reading it to their friends.

VET to DeAnn What a great creative writing project! No wonder the kiddos love it. Great start to reading and writing for the little ones.
