Session II is well under way! We started with Super Sentence Writing...

Session II of "Budding Authors and Artists" and "Awesome Authors and Artists" started up in late January, and I am finally getting caught up and making my blog selections. Grades 1-6 took a boring base sentence:
"The snowflake falls."
And turned it into a masterpiece with adjectives, adverbs, phrases, and clauses! The "Awesome" class even learned how to start a sentence with "Because." Of course, no sentence would be complete without glittery snowflake stickers and glitter pens! I hope you enjoy these samples across the grades!

At midnight, the small snowflake falls on the smooth tree.

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!"
