CONGRATULATIONS....to Julia and Dylan for winning the best story contest from our visiting Sunshine State Author, Sherri Winston. Students in grades 3 and 4 were so inspired by her presentation and story writing sessions that she decided to have a contest. All students who wrote a story had their entries read by the author who gave personal notes on each one. Several others were selected as winners including Dorothy and Sole and the student authors received a Barnes & Noble gift certificate or signed copy of the book President of the Whole Fifth Grade.
In grade 1 students acted out the story entitled Mud Fairy by Amy Young, after they heard the story. Some of them even used a real "Magic lit-up Wand" as they followed the story of Emmalina, the fairy who could not do anything right to earn her "wings". After many efforts, she finally was successful!

In grade 2, students finished their passport project by researching interesting facts about every continent. They used non-fiction books to find their facts, and their reward was to take their passports home with them after traveling all around the world collecting data. Good job, second graders!
