Young Writer's Conference

Franklin students and parent helpers walked to Peninsula College yesterday and participated in sharing sessions, writing workshops, and a book-making project. It was an exciting event, and more than a few students and adults remarked that the day went by very fast. It was a thrill to hear our students read some of their creative writings, and students from across the peninsula learned to listen and comment on the various stories and essays written by their peers. Many thanks to our parent helpers for supporting our efforts to build a student writing community.

Next Week is a Busy One!

Report cards go home next week and our field trip is Wednesday, March 25th (also next week.)

Friday

Last night's "Science Night" was a big success with community scientists and teachers exhibiting amazing activities and displays. Among the exhibits was a large display under glass of various large and colorful bugs. High school teacher Coke Smith must have one of the largest collections in the world, and that's a lot of bugs! Another exhibit also had "bugs" but you had to look through a microscope to see them; they were really small! For me, Mr. Burnett, the best part was seeing so many Franklin students and parents having a fun and educational evening at our school. Have a good weekend!
