Wow! My  Creative Writing students in Grades I and II did it! We have launched a book!The book was entitled " Word Tree: Write, write more" . It was launched last March 1. The book contained their poems ( five senses and limericks). Although, their works were at the last part and their picture was not included in the book  and most of the works were done by the higher level, i was proud of the accomplishment of  my cool creative writers as they call themselves.

When I told my class about it, they were really excited. They gushed about it. Some reacted–" Oh, no! Not my work!"I was excited also of the thought that their works will be published.Young as they are, they have communicated not only words but their experiences. Being with kids in a Creative Writing class is such a delight. I would often marvel at their ideas and the words that would come out from them.They are always excited with the stories and writing tasks that i would give them. I marvel at their stories and their creative outputs. It’s just unfortunate that most of the works i submitted to the editors were not included because of the limited pages.I love my kids’ very,very short stories. This is one of my favorite stories.It came out after the doodling activity we had. I myself, would not be able to come up with this kind of story. Enjoy…

By Julianna Domingo ( Gr. I)

Once upon a trumpet time, there was an unknown place in space called Trumpet Land. The first trumpet on Trumpet Land was the MAGIC Upside down Trumpet . He invented so many things that he worked until night. When he was already a Grandpa, he always trumpet praying to the Trumpet God for more trumpets than him. Then, the Trumpet God did it! His wish came true! Then, that’s how Trumpet Land was with so many people.
