We were very lucky to have had the famous author Anne Bowen at our school today! She talked about “What Good Writers Do!”
THE COOL THING she is a UTAH Gal!!! At the age of 22, Anne traded hills for mountains, and moved to Utah to begin her teaching career. She married her husband, Art, and has lived in Ogden for the past thirty years. Anne has two grown sons, six grandchildren, one grand-puppy, and two senior golden retrievers.
The amazing thing is all the advice she was giving us, we have been doing in class…The kids were so excited! They loved that they had a connection with her and that they do what she does! I loved that she reinforced what Mrs. Peterson and I have been preaching to the kids too!
GOOD WRITERS
*Ask questions *THINK THINK THINK *WonDer *Record their thoughts *Use your 5 Senses *Use WOW words…describing words *Write about your experiences *Be creative, take ordinary and change it to AMAZING ****TOOLs to AlWaYS have on hand!

Rain Forest Research
We have been busy reading books, watching clips online, researching online and listening to speakers all on the topic: RAIN FORESTS! There minds have been so curious and I have loved watching the light in their eyes spark up every time they learn a new fact or discover a WOW response!
On these rainy days, I wanted to remind the kids that they can continue their research at home using the KID SAFE links on the right side bar. There are so many articles, pages, images and videos out there with amazing information on this topic!
SO – for link of the week this week I am encouraging the kids to use the links on the right side bar to LEARN more!
The more you know the more you grow!!!
Happy Searching!
