Dear Parents/Guardian,
This has been an amazing semester in Creative Writing class. I have thoroughly
enjoyed my time with children. Id like to inform you of our final project grade and
welcome your participation.
As a class, students will be writing a one-of-a-kind cookbook based on a family food
tradition that is special to each of them. Each child will write a short story and also
include a recipe for their chosen treat. These stories will be published in an online
collection called Story Bird. On Story Bird, students can read each others work and
write positive feedback. Their Story Bird class account will remain active even after
the semester ends.
As a culminating activity, we will have a publishing party to celebrate the successful
launch of our book. Students are invited to bring their special food in to share with
the class. The celebration will take place on Wednesday, December 21, 2016 during
their Creative Writing class period. Please be reminded this is a short school day
and the last day of the semester.
Students can bring in their food for safe keeping before school from 8:45am-9:10am
of December 21, 2016.
Please complete the form below and return by Tuesday, December 13, 2016. As
always, participation is voluntary and all students will join in the fun whether or not
they are able to bring their dish.
Thank you in advance for your support and involvement with your childs education.
