A Blog to Encourage Young Writers

3/17/2020

Faith's Feather Pen, a book written and dedicated to an amazing class of students I looped with for a few years. They inspired me to write this book because of their passion and desire to learn more about writing and "how writing could possibly be fun", and it can!

As we face a new mode of teaching and learning, I decided to share my passion to write, meld it with my joy to teach, and start a blog to encourage young and aspiring authors, and the reluctant writer. As parents use the packets of material sent home from the teachers, there is still a lot of minutes left in the day to incorporate additional learning. My hope is that you'll enjoy this blog and share it with your kiddos.

This is the first post and, like everything else involving COVID-19, a new way to blog for me, yet one I look forward to doing. My plan at this moment is to offer a video, or two, along with a journal prompt to inspire them to write.

Thank you for giving me a chance to instill a love of writing in your child. May you find a few moments to do the dishes, read, or use the restroom while your child realizes they not only like to write, but they are wonderful story tellers too!

Things to note:
1) Kids may share their stories in a blog post
WITH PARENT PERMISSION

2) I'm doing this blog series as an author,
to encourage young writers to write during this time

3) With so many kids transitioned into
learning at home, I've married my
"author hat" and my "educator's heart"
to find a creative way to share my love
of writing and get kids writing for FUN!

I hope you and your child(ren) enjoy
this blog and spend time writing.

It's exciting to see people sharing this link to encourage other kiddos to write. Parents, don't stress. Your teachers, across the country, especially in the MACS district, are dedicating a lot of time to make this a successful journey for you and prep for when we get back in the classroom.

Happy writing,
Mrs. Buske
