Brainstormers Take off Show Assembly– We had a wonderful writing assembly on Tuesday. The Brainstormers came in and performed several types of writing created by the audience. The children got to help create the stories and perform them on stage with the other actors. The students will be writing their own stories based on what we learned on Tuesday and we will be sending them in to Brainstormers. They will pick several of the student’s stories to perform on stage. If they are chosen they get to sit in the special author’s chair on stage, to watch their story being performed. They can continue to write their Brianstormer story over break if they have time.
