Narrative Writing Celebration

As you can see, I am WAY behind on my posting.  Here is some video from our narrative writing celebration that happened early in November.  Instead of having each child share his or her piece aloud, we had more of a "museum walk."  Parents and other students were able to roam around the room and hear different authors share their work.  Post-it notes were available on every table so we could respond to the author's writing.  Our parents were an incredible audience - each child felt celebrated. 

And please don't worry - that's not blood, cuts, or bruises that you see on our kids.  Since we are an arts magnet school, students participate in drama study once a week.  This week's lesson dealt with theater paint.  So everyone was able to paint their own "wounds" (which the kids loved!).
