What in the World is NaNoWriMo???

Dear Parents,

As you may or may not of heard already, our class has embarked on an exciting journey together called the NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month). The students are in the process of planning the novel they will write during the month of November. In a nutshell, the program encourages students to write as much as they can in a month without worrying about editing their work until the challenge is completed! Please visit the link below to learn more about this writing challenge:

Students will set individual word count goals which can be registered online by joining the Young Writer's Program. Registering online is optional and requires an email address (student's or parent's email). This can be decided between you and your child if you would like do to so:

Furthermore, this writing assignment is in English and students will be given plenty of class time to write their novels, however they may also choose to and/or be required to work on their novels at home from time to time.
