Arbor Teacher Kelly Bristow will lead a new creative writing class for The Arbor! In creative writing exploration, we will learn about what it means to be a creative writer and how we can become better writers ourselves. We will focus a little more on embracing the fundamentals of writing sentences and exploring self-expression through writing. All ages will explore age-appropriate poetry, short stories, and of course, children’s books – we may even discuss song lyrics, if we have ample time. We will also have writing prompts, organized according to grade/group level – fun for every age and individual expression!
