FEEDBACK

Dear Mrs. Khan,
Thank you for all the support and encouragement this past year. You are a wonderful teacher and without your guidance, I would not have motivated myself to publish my poems...
Love, Katy E.

Dear Naazish,
Thank you so much for your wonderful writing instruction. (We) got a lot out of our sessions. I'll definitely consider continuing in the Fall !
Cheers,
Jenifer B.

In fact, our KG teacher, Ms. Hashmi, implemented your tip and found it to be very effective. JazakAllah! " Ms. Sakina Ali, Principal, Averroes Academy, Northbrook, IL

Welcome!

Welcome Budding Writers, Parents, And Lovers of Poetry & Dramatic, Wondrous Tales!

This blog will house stories that have been percolating at the Writers Studio. It's work by our students, some barely six years old, others on the verge of teen-dom, and still others young adults! It's also an e-version of our Doors Wide Open newsletter, which is edited and designed by our students.

I'll be posting announcements of upcoming workshops here too. Of course, if you know children who'd like to take their creative writing to the next step, I could have a workshop materialize around your dinner table!

Happy Reading!
