Live Up and Coming Events
Enroll your child(ren) ages 7- 12. Two poetry workshops live online taught by children's author and educator, VA Rivera.
This is the readiness you're looking for to refresh your child(ren)'s skills for school in the Fall.
Online workshops are scheduled for August 7th, "Fun with Couplets" and August 21st, "Fun with Acrostics" 3:30pm- 4:30pm. Young poets will be brainstorming, creating, and writing. Time will be allotted for volunteers to share. I encourage parents to sit in, if it's ok with your little one. Your child may appreciate your assistance with ideas, but it's not mandatory. Please have your child bring a favorite pen/pencil and their most fun notebook or writing pad. An adult 18+ is required to complete the enrollment form .
Let's write something amazing!
