I’ve already had inquiries as to when the NEXT children’s writing challenge will take place. And one child even drew an illustration for her story. A couple of classes wrote a collaborative story. Teachers were requested to send one story per class. I also decided to open the challenge to children all over the world-believing that, especially in these times, it’s important for us to come together-with children leading the way as the storytellers.Įach story was submitted by either a parent or a teacher. “Thank you again for organizing this fun event! My students were challenged to keep their stories under 50 words – especially since we’ve been working so hard in second grade to add details to lengthen our writing!” “Thanks for hosting such a wonderful contest for young students.” “My daughter told me she wants to write books like me, and my heart melted!” This is a wonderful thing you are doing for kids!” I got several requests from teacher friends who asked for a few more days…so I extended the deadline to May 10th.Īnd the notes I got from parents and teachers were filled with thanks for creating this writing opportunity. Many thanks to the parents and teachers who encouraged their kids to participate. HURRAY! It’s time to unveil the wonderful stories from children all over the world.
