My day began with the 7th grade writing group at Glacial Drumlin Middle School. We had a thoughtful and productive meeting with each student sharing their work and giving feed-back to their fellow members.
Cathy Kozlowicz a reporter from the Herald-Independent and McFarland Thistle sat in on our meeting. She is writing a feature story on the group, including photos and quotes from the students.
After Glacial Drumlin, I visited Cottage Grove School where I worked with 3rd and 4th graders on their respective stories.
In the evening, I lead Chapter's Teen Writing Club. The club consists of a group of students from different schools in the area who, under my supervision, gather each Thursday night at the Pinney Branch Library to sharpen their writing skills.
Last night, we brainstormed on a common plot, broke into small groups, and helped one another bring to life our creative juices.
The group is kind, encouraging, and uplifting. I am proud to know each and everyone of them.
