"Caught Ya Writing" Photo Contest
Parents should watch for fabulous photo opportunities as they “catch their kids writing” at home. The idea of the competition is to photograph children as we catch them writing for different reasons outside of school. “Catch” students doing writing activities such as creative writing, making lists, writing to Santa Claus, taking down messages, writing with sidewalk chalk, or any original or inspiring situation.
Pictures should be submitted to the Language Arts Enrichment Specialist Jennifer Willner at jwillner@cms.edu.do. A caption can accompany the photo. A winner will be chosen each month and the photo will be posted within our CMS community. Have fun with this contest and try to CATCH THEM WRITING!
BIG NEWS!!!
