Story Studio inspires creativity in young minds, and makes the task of writing (even to the point of publication) exciting, achievable, and even practical. Keep up your wonderful work!

Thank you so much for coming and teaching us how to write these awesome stories.
Student, Grades 4Spencer Elementary
I think that as teachers we often get caught up in the writing and spelling and lose sight of the students’ creativity. They were free to be as creative as they wanted. They also became authors which made them very proud.

I look out the frosty window in my cold bedroom. I have three hours until I leave to go camping. I will be gone for half of my winter break, camping on some mountain I’ve never heard of. I hate camping. Sadly, my dad says it builds character, so I guess I’ll have to put up with it for a while.

It all started in the middle of the night sometime in the future. There lived a T-Rex and his name was Jackson. He was six and a half years old.
