I am going to take the liberty of encouraging all teachers out there to get their students to celebrate the day with a little bit of writing. I know all but the very youngest of your students will probably be doing a little bit of texting today. They might even be tweeting, or heaven to Betsy, putting pencil to paper.

So how about a little creativity? Maybe they could write a poem, a description of the room around them, a funny line or two? Post their work in the comment section here so we can all enjoy the day together! And here's a link to the National Day on Writing  website.
