The PCLS Curriculum Department/Teaching and Learning Team developed the W-o-W! program to recognize the hard work and creativity of PCLS students.
In an effort to help build a community of writers, the team encourages schools to display the W-o-W’s work and asks teachers to use the W-o-W’s work as part of their writing instruction.
Congratulations to Maple Elementary School 3rd grader Braiden Champion who was selected as the PCLS W-o-W! (Writer-of-the-Week.)
Braiden was presented with a certificate of achievement and allowed to choose a prize from the Writer’s Toolbox. His teacher, Mrs. Kelly Chiappone, submitted his essay, “Being a Good Citizen,” because “He did a great job listing examples of how to be a good citizen so that others can learn from his writing. He also did a great job using transition words. He was able to read the book and use the ideas but was able to expand and put his own ideas in also."
Braiden will be invited to read from her essay at an upcoming Board of Education meeting.
