Be Your Life’s Own Author

Mrs. Holly Johnson’s 6th grade Quest students shared stories they had written with children at PLE. The students have worked hard writing books and wanted others to enjoy them also. MSP Quest really enjoyed interacting with the younger students. They also brought each class a blank book that can be used to create a class story. MSP Quest shared that good books come from stories in your own life. Using your imagination is what makes a great story come to life. It was nice to see all of the students so engaged and excited about reading.

“Young Author’s Celebration”

Mrs. Holly Johnson’s 6th grade Quest classes enjoyed the day being able to meet and visit with authors and illustrators from around the area. This event entitled, “Young Author’s Celebration” was put on by William Carey University, and each student experienced how to be their “Life’s Own Author.” Prior to the trip, the Quest students spent several weeks writing their own stories that were special to them. We went through the whole writing process and published each student’s book. This was a wonderful experience and gave each student the confidence they needed to realize that they can use their personal experiences to connect with others through stories. We had a great time and look forward to sharing our stories with students at Poplarville Lower Elementary for Read Across America Week.
