Artistic Attitudes at Arthur E. Wright

I’m back at schools this week for the last stretch of I Love To Read Month, starting with a second visit to Arthur E. Wright school. Ms. Slipec’s Grade 5’s were awesome to meet and spend time with. Since they are reading Lights! Curtains! Cows! together as a class, I got the chance to read Chapter 15 – the next-to-last chapter. (Did you guys read the end yet? Hope you enjoyed it!)

I LOVED your questions and comments about the book, and was very impressed with your “punny” names and book titles inspired by Constance Noring, a very punny lady herself. I’m still laughing!

Yes – this class sure has a sense of humour, and a great sense of creativity (I saw some AMAZING artwork accompanying creative writing pieces – WOW!). Good luck to you all as you follow your dreams, and to the budding writers in the class: keep up the amazing work!

I shared with you the special story of how Ms. Slipec inspired me as a young writer to get more creative with my words by using a thesaurus, and also to read, read, read! It’s wonderful advice  – you are all very lucky to have such a creative and caring teacher!

Thanks again for having me visit your class – it was tons of fun. Hope to visit your school sometime again soon!
