We've finally revived ourselves from the intense, yet, magical three weeks of our second annual summer camp, Write, Craft & Play! Now, we can share with you photos, soon, videos, and, of course student writing!
This year, we had some new and returning students as well as some new and returning activities and methods. In addition to writing instruction, students participated in academic conversation, silent sustained reading, read-a-louds, a little readers' theatre, arts, crafts, field trips and much more! Our students continue to impress and challenge us and we're glad to have them and looking forward to working with them again next year.
On another important note, we must give some special Thank Yous to our sponsors and partners. In the middle of preparation, re-prepartion, teaching and managing, things got pretty hectic and we didn't get a chance to show our appreciation for the vital support of our sponsors: JRD Mohammed Furniture and PVC Art Ceilings & More. These two businesses put their money where their mouths are and explemify corporate social responsibility. We thank them for believing in this project and for showing up and out. Please take some time out to check out their websites and social media pages.
Be sure to check out our Facebook and Instagram pages for more photos, but most importantly, here is a link to the inaugural Write, Craft & Play! 2015 literary magazine, which includes student poetry, fiction and art. Some of this work was typed by students as well and they helped to print, staple and stamp the hard copies. It should also be noted that the consensus among students was that the hard copies were much important than my suggested Internet-only version. See link below:
