We were fortunate to have Darlene Hartman, accomplished author and excellent teacher, come in and work with us. She was fantastic, as usual! What are some of the things you enjoyed/learned from her?

    Mrs Hartman,
    I cannot tell you how much I enjoyed your presentation. I heard you speak at the Mid-Winter conference and you have such a rich knowledge base for how to write creatively. I am definitely going to use the activities you showed us to help my students when I do Writer's Workshop with them. I was very impressed with the ideas you brought up for description such as putting words together like "the blackest anger" and layering the elements of writing. You are certainly an extremely gifted writer. I hope to be able to see another one of your presentations. Thank-you for coming to speak to us.

    Thanks so much for a wonderful day of ideas. The starter cards is a neat idea to come up with some truly creative pieces of writing. I look forward to your newsletter.

    It was great to hear and see such passion for writing. I love the box of items you gave us to keep and use in our writing. I can't wait to use the ideas you shared in my classroom with my students. I hope to hear you again soon!
    Thanks,
    Morgan
