Writer in Residence:We are thrilled to be working with Ms. Susan Wilde, our third grade Writer in Residence.  Ms. Wilde is working with our class on incorporating creative writing with our study of Objects in the Sky.  You can check out her website at: http://ignitingwriting.com/  At her website you can learn all about Ms. Wilde, read book reviews and much more!  You can also view her blog at: http://ignitingwriting.com/blog (on her blog she wrote about last week working at Douglas).
