Writing session for kids with Author Sigmund Brouwer

Hi Everyone!
We are only 1 week away from Sigmund Brouwer's visit to Fort Nelson! I found him to be a great presenter last year and he especially has a heart for reluctant writers and helping boys engage in writing. The session I attended last year had students from grade 3 to 10 and everyone seemed to enjoy the session, especially the Q&A time. This year, rather than just being online, we have the opportunity for him to be PRESENT, sharing encouraging, motivating and insightful information on writing, answering questions AND getting to see the kids and brainstorm with them! I would encourage you all to attend with your kids (to observe the process and glean ideas) and then to attend the evening session to ask questions, get specific answers that apply to you family and possibly even start building goals around writing and publishing yourself (for you or your kids!). It was so exciting for me last year, to read comments by a range of students who were looking forward being "writers".
Here is the link to register. Please feel free to pass it on to other people in the community too, so that they have the opportunity to come to this session. It would be great to have a full house for Sigmund AND to encourage writers in Fort Nelson!  smile emoticon
Take care,
Niki
