Our 4th-6th grade students had an unforgettable experience recently when author Johan Twiss paid a visit to our school! Johan Twiss, known for his engaging and thought-provoking books, captivated our young readers with tips, inspiration, and a hands-on approach to storytelling.

During his visit, Johan spoke to students about how to write their own stories, sharing insights into the creative process and emphasizing the importance of using their imaginations. He encouraged students to be brave in expressing their ideas and to explore the unique stories that each of them has to share.

The most exciting part of the visit was when Johan invited students and teachers to join him on stage to demonstrate storytelling in action. Through these live, interactive sessions, they explored character creation, plot twists, and the art of bringing a story to life. The audience was thrilled to watch their peers and teachers get involved, creating spontaneous stories with Johan’s guidance.

We are so grateful for Johan’s visit and the impact it had on our students and teachers alike. It’s opportunities like these that spark a love for storytelling in our school community and inspire our budding writers to take their first steps in crafting their own tales. Thank you, Johan Twiss, for sharing your passion and inspiring the next generation of storytellers!
