Workshops for Grades 3-4

Time Travelers!

Build early confidence and skills in our fun, creative workshops.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to sail the seas with Vikings, joust in the king's court, or watch the rise of the pyramids of Egypt? This year, we will use our imaginations to “travel” to different times and places and write from the perspectives of those who lived before us!    


Through our "Time Travelers" theme, students will write a variety of pieces, including stories, poetry, research reports, and essays. Students begin each project immersed in reading and art experiences to inspire and spark unique ideas. Each piece is taken through the writing process as students are guided to brainstorm, draft, revise, edit, publish, and share their work. At the end of the each workshop, students will have completed several short pieces and one main project that reflects the theme and the skills taught in the workshop. 


From these workshops, parents and students can expect:

- small-group and 1-1 guidance in the completion of a variety of writing and art projects

- a focus on organization and elaboration of ideas

- reading for meaning from theme-related texts

- vocabulary development

- authentic grammar and mechanics instruction through the editing process

- individualized instruction through the revision process

- support from a true writers' community

- a low-stress environment that facilitates creative thinking and confidence


We'd love to have your author join us! Classes are limited to twelve students, so register early!


All workshops are $230 for ten 90-minute classes.
