There is nothing like an author visit to get the 5th Graders writing. This week, we have had the honor of having Katie Mcky, author of Pumpkin Town, helping us out at Glenbrook. We started with an all school assembly on Monday, then today we had the opportunity to have a one hour writing experience led by her. It was AMAZING. These 5th Graders were so engaged and having so much fun... its amazing what some tents, spray bottles, dusters, s'mores, and leaf blowers can do. Yes, I said leaf blowers. You will have to ask your child about it. :)
Here is one picture showing how engaged the students were. Emily was put in the hot spot, or a Test Of Toughness, as Katie Mcky calls it, and she did an amazing job!
