Creative Writing Award

This year Sofia's teacher has been teaching the kids about writing books.  She has them brain storm, draft, edit and rewrite their own books.  She has taught them NEPR which stands for Nice beginning, Event or change, Problem, Resolution.  I had not seen any of the work that Sofia had done on her book since they do not bring the stories home.  Her teacher was really giving them time to use their language and writing skills while using their imagination so if they finished a book they could start a new one.  I didn't realize that an award would be given for any writing but in the school assembly today Sofia was awarded the Creative Writing Award.  The award certificate will be framed and hung in the library along with her book.  She also received a gift certificate to an English language book store in town.  We are extremely proud of her and love to see her beaming with pride over a job well done!
