📝 Creative Writing Meets Creative Thinking! 📝
Challenge students have been putting their names—and imaginations—to work in some amazing ways! Check out the unique challenges each grade took on:
✨ 2nd grade wrote acrostic poems using the letters of their names to describe who they are.
✨ 3rd grade turned the letters of their printed names into an entirely new animal species and wrote all about the new creature’s unique traits.
✨ 4th grade went out of this world - Using their names written in cursive (and a little imagination), they illustrated an alien that landed in their backyard! They then wrote a creative story from the alien’s point of view.
