Character Day 2013

What a fun and exciting day at WSE!!  We just love everything about Character Day!  It's a day dedicated to our love of literature and the writing process.  This year was extra special.  The White Station High School drum line set the cadence while we marched around the track behind the school.  Once in our classroom, the students had time to share their books and why they decided to dress up as their character.  The day ended with a visit from a local author, Amber McRee Turner.  She has written and published two books for young adults titled Sway and her latest release, Circa.  You can learn more about her by visiting http://www.ambermcreeturner.com/Amber_McRee_Turner,_Author.html.  Overall, the day was a success and we look forward to next year.

Happy New Year!
