Hello Parents,
Student Council blogged a little about the plans we have rolling for writing and publishing children's books for Neola Elementary. We started on Friday with a couple of lectures on illustration styles and reading levels and paired the students up to brainstorm their plots.
The project involves students writing books in the content areas of history, science, art, and school values and illustrating them. We are having them published online at studentpublishing.com. Parents will be able to order a copy of their student's book with an order form we will email to you when we have the students' names all set up on the order site. We do have an account, and we are scheduled to upload all of our material by October 15.
Jamie and I spoke with Neola's principal, Mr. Arko, last week. When the books arrive, we will round up the students on 700 and up to take the books to the school and read them to the students before leaving them with the teachers.
Stay posted for pics and the student council perspective as the project unfolds!
