Gwinn, MI – August 12, 2014 – “Word … to the Mic”, a program designed to encourage students to share their writing, continues on this year at Sawyer Elementary, carrying on the longstanding tradition that started in 2010 at Gilbert Elementary.
Beginning in January, Fifth grade teacher, Debbie Goldsworthy, decorates the school library each month. She sets up an intimate setting, similar to a restaurant, where featured student writers are made to feel special by sharing their writing during lunch and recess with their peers.
Fourth and fifth grade students listen to the stories and poetry writing of their peers. Students feel valued and this event gives them a forum to express themselves without criticism. It’s just one of the ways we celebrate literacy!
“Word … to the Mic” is just one of the many reasons why It’s Good At Gwinn!
