Kyle Elementary hosts Camp Write About

Leading into the big state test, known as the STAAR test, is an annual call-to-arms for Kyle Elementary School 4th graders to launch into “Camp Write About.” It’s a week-long set of adventures, complete with pitched tents in classrooms, simulated campfires, and writing exercises that put the final touches on a year’s worth of preparation, all of it intended to capture the 4th grade Panthers’ fancy and focus their skills sets. A visit to KES 4th grade teacher Bonnie Whittington’s class during “Camp Write-About” week was an expectedly perfect  place to see it all in action, Whittington and co-teacher Janet Jackson putting their Panthers through their paces, including fun brain breaks like their “On the Banks of the Hanky Panky” workout! Above Cody Frias, peeks out of his tent. Right, are (l-r) Alayna Govea, Nataly Rosado, Jade Howe and Izabella Segura.
