Dr. Washburn visited our class a week ago to observe the writing stylus program. Dr. Washburn has done several things with brain research and it was an honor to have him come visit us. Mrs. Robinson did her usually great lesson as I monitored the class. I always brag about how great my students are but they were unbelievable. Dr. Washburn sat at a table of students and completed every activity along with them. They analyzed a piece of writing looking for personification, sang a personification song, wrote in the Writing on Demand journals, and completed a writing activity as seen in the picture above. He was so impressed that he mentions a conversation he was involved in on his blog. Go check it out.
