I am super proud and excited because one of my students, Paige, won first place in the Suffolk County Writing Contest for first grade. For those of you who don’t know Long Island, Suffolk County is huge! I am so proud of her. Paige will read her winning prose at a special dinner event in June! I am invited along with my principal and her parents.
The winning prose was written after a Writer’s Workshop lesson on Writing Off an Object or Memory. I started the lesson by reading Something Beautiful
by Sharon Dennis Wyeth.
