Celebrating The Written Word At Mandalay Elementary

Wantagh third-graders were proud of the personal narrative writing during the Personal Writing Celebration.

WANTAGH-SEAFORD, NY - From The Wantagh School District: Third-graders in Arlene Berman’s and Anne Sallustro’s classes at Mandalay Elementary School in the Wantagh School District shared their narrative writings with peers and parents during a Personal Narrative Celebration.

For the past couple of months, the students have studied the stages of the writing process. After writing down experiences that are important to them, called narrative writing, the stories were then published in a bound book and shared. Many of the students wrote about trips to Disneyland or to Lake George, while others wrote about school and family experiences.

“This was a culmination of weeks of work,” Ms. Sallustro said. “We are very excited about the students’ writing.”
