Wow, what a morning! Today our Writing 110 class visited Gretna Green Elementary School to share our storybooks and writing lesson plans with the students. We were a bit nervous at first, but after the first 15 minutes, the students were naturals! We all walked away feeling enriched. Thank you to Mr. Comeau, Ms. Simmons, and the Gretna Green staff for hosting us at your school.
Check out my "links" to be brought to Gretna Green's image gallery from the morning. I will also be uploading my own pictures and videos shortly.
