Back to School Time!

It's time to start up another school year! This year, I have 65 students across three different schools in my two after-school clubs: "Budding Authors and Artists" (for grades 1-3), and "Awesome Authors and Artists" (for grades 4-6). I am excited to share their work with you! I know it will be difficult to pick only a few samples from each assignment we will complete, because every student is working so hard and producing such beautiful work.

Enjoy!

About the Teacher

Mrs. Huff has taught Language Arts for over 20 years. After being a classroom teacher for 12 years, she chose a new career path in teaching writing workshops and tutoring in order to stay home with her young children. She loves teaching creative writing, reading, and grammar. She specializes in teaching elementary school grades, but enjoys assisting older students with their writing as well. She offers both in-person and online workshops and tutoring sessions. Mrs. Huff is Barton trained and certified, and has experience tutoring dyslexic students. She loves to see their growth and improvement in reading, writing, and spelling.

Mrs. Huff's hobbies include coaching volleyball, photography, scrapbooking, writing, and spending time with her family. She has a daughter and a son, both "graduates" from the "Authors and Artists" program!

What Parents and Students have said about the workshop:

"The small group environment allowed for lots of personalized attention and immediate feedback. My daughter loved the workshop and came home raving about the creative writing assignments which included group, partner, and individual writing."

"It amazed me how my son was excited to stay after school for an academic-style club. Mrs. Huff made the classroom environment comfortable and light after a long day's work at school, yet encouraged hard work and focus and got the kids to produce great things. We loved the program!"

"I loved Mrs. Huff's teaching style and enthusiasm."

"I never thought I'd hear the words 'awesome' and 'writing' in the same sentence from my son, but that's what he said after the first class."

"My daughter absolutely loved the workshop. It made her think, and challenged her to write something different. She loves writing, and this gave her a scheduled time to do what she loves best with a teacher's guidance. Plus, she loved her teacher!"

"Authors and Artists is my favorite part of the day."

"This workshop is hard work..... but it's fun work!"

"I was very impressed with Mrs. Huff's manner with the children. There was a sense of mutual respect in the classroom between the teacher and students. The students were comfortable and worked hard, but had fun!"
