Thank you so much to Author Gordon Korman for visiting Sanford Middle School today. Korman spent the day talking to students about his writing process, how he does he research for writing, how much work goes into publishing, and much more. He then hung around after to sign books for students and staff. “The kids were amazing, a really, really nice audience,” Korman said. “It was a really nice reception.”

Third grade students at Margaret Chase Smith have been working on their opinion/persuasive writing pieces. These coyotes have learned how to state their opinion, defend their opinion with examples and/or facts, and provide a closure to their writing. Coyotes were then able to share their writing pieces with families, other students, and even some teachers. The students did a great job sharing their writing and they also gave some feedback!

Students in Mrs. Case's Kindergarten classroom at Sanford Pride Elementary were fortunate to be visited by one of their classmate's families, to teach the students about their Mexican culture and family traditions. They brought family heirlooms, clothing, and instruments. They played authentic music and demonstrated and taught the students dance steps. They also taught the students Spanish words and finished with a Spanish Bingo game. This was such a fun and meaningful way to wrap up their cultural celebration.

To celebrate the work of the students, families were able to come in and have students share what they have been able to make throughout the unit.
