Write Away

The most important thing we noticed was that students think in unexpected, mysterious ways. Often, our assumption of how they feel based on what we know of the student, is not accurate, so it is the upmost importance that we have the patience to listen to students as they express their feelings. 

In each student's stories, we can see how they express many of their values, which are developed by their environment and parents at an early age. 

In many of the writings, we can see values such as: 

• Motivation and positive Attitude

• Resilience

• Self-Discipline

• respect 

• Responsibility and Accountability

• Empathy and Emotional Intelligence

• Growth Mindset

Through writing, we can understand the character development of each students, and how it plays a crucial role in shaping how students approach their education and interactions. Writing allows students to explore their thoughts and feelings, but most importantly  express their creativity. Kids can create vivid and imaginative images in their writing,  allowing them to experiment with language sand ideas, leading to unique expressions. When they step outside their comfort zone, they tap into their creativity in ways they would have never deemed possible.
