DoSeum Kids' Creative Writing Workshop Explored "Heroes Among Us" at Saturday Program

What fun to facilitate the "Heroes Among Us"

Creative Writing Workshop at the DoSeum with fellow San Antonio Writing Project teacher consultants. The DoSeum is San Antonio's new, amazing children's museum. On July 25, young writers learned about The Hero’s Journey and spoke with real life heroes to inspire their own hero stories!  Visiting the DoSeum that

day were all kinds of heroes, including those who work to keep others safe, protect wildlife, and help kids to learn and grow.  To meet some of these amazing heroes visit: http://www.thedoseum.org/heroes-everyday-meet-heroes/

The Queen Mary Hotel and Attraction Book Giveaway

Just learned that last month, the Queen Mary staff hosted a giveaway, and gifted one winner (who liked their post on Facebook) with a copy of WELCOME TO AMERICA, CHAMP! in honor of International Children's Book Day.  I hope the recipient enjoys both this story, set on the Queen Mary in 1946, as well as the gorgeous illustrations of the interior and exterior of the great ship by Doris Ettlinger.
