This program motivates young students about writing, encourage students to use the writing process to create their own piece of work, and challenges students to use creativity and imagination in their stories. Their own copy of their book also provides them with a piece of work they can be proud to showcase with their family and friends. Student Treasures was recently named the "Best Free Program for Schools," by Scholastic's Instructor Magazine.Check out their website at www.studenttreasures.com.
This year some classes chose to participate using the manuscript kits. Manuscript kits allow students to draw their illustrations and write their stories in their own handwriting. The fourth and fifth grade students used the new online publishing program. The kids typed their stories directly into the publishing program. For their illustrations they used Bloggie cameras to capture photographs around the school and browsed Google Images for clipart off the web.
We are anxious to get our books back soon! We hope you will come check out our books at the Young Author's Conference March 22nd at Indiana University Kokomo from 6:00-8:00.
