2010-2011 YOUNG AUTHORS
It’s Young Author time once again!
Every year the CES PTA offers each student the opportunity to “publish” a book. Students write their own creative story, type it into a template, print and turn it in to their classroom teacher. When 2nd through 5th graders complete their stories, they each receive a blank book and cover to take home, along with cut-paste instructions, so they can incorporate their story, illustrations and other creative ideas into their book. Kindergarten and 1st grade students will write and illustrate their books during class time.
All parents are invited to a grade-wide Young Authors Tea to celebrate their child’s accomplishment. Although parent participation is not a requirement, parents will be missed when the students read their book to the class. The Young Authors tradition has given students not only a useful lesson in creative writing and project completion, but also a keepsake of their literary development at CES.
If you have any questions, email your Grade Level Coordinator or Young Author Chair Katie Ferrer, ferrerhome5@verizon.net . Happy writing to all the CES authors!
