Each spring, Summit second graders participate in the Language Arts Department (LAD) Fair, a regional writing contest. In doing so, students are creating and selecting pieces of writing fitting specific categories outlined by the LAD Department. In addition to submitting small group and class anthologies, we strive to submit at least one piece of writing from each individual student.   At the contest, writing samples are read and then judged by other area teachers. Students have been working on LAD Fair pieces at home and some even worked over spring break.

The class has been working diligently on their writing creations!  They are so proud of their writing pieces and so very excited to share.  I can’t wait to see the results of the contest.  We have over 60 entries!  It’s quite rewarding to see how far their writing has come since the beginning of the school year.  It’s even more exciting to think about how far they can take this important skill!
