As a special treat, Scholastic brought in author, Jennifer Mathieu, to speak to the students. She has a novel coming out in June and it looks like a great one! I have posted the cover above this post. Most of all, I enjoyed Ms. Mathieu's advice to writers: 1) Read everything you can. 2) Observe the world around you and put down your phone. 3) Write, write, write. It was very encouraging for the students and me to hear. Hopefully Ms. Mathieu can speak at our writing club very soon!
One of the greatest things I have had the opportunity to do is work with the SBMS Writing Club. We meet every Tuesday and the students come ready to share ideas, write stories, and talk about contests. It has been a blessing for me and hopefully them too! Last night, three of our Writing Club members were awarded certificates at the Scholastic Awards Ceremony. It was a pleasure to be there.
