Once upon a time, in the magical, icy wilderness of Alaska, known as AK to the cool kids, there existed a tribe of word wizard kids. They were not ordinary children; oh no, they were the brilliant light bulbs of creativity, the masters of the quill, and the conquerors of the written word. They'd meet every week in their secret club, hidden among the snow-capped mountains, beneath the dancing aurora borealis, and around a roaring campfire. They were led by their chubby, eccentric yet delightful leader, Professor Pencil, a fluffy yeti with glasses perched precariously on his enormous nose. Always seen with a giant pencil behind his ear, he had a knack for turning the most mundane stories into epic adventures, and could make any sentence sparkle brighter than the North Star itself. With their beloved Professor, the AK kids dove headfirst into the ocean of storytelling, constructing magnificent castles of words, weaving tales of courageous salmon swimming against the current, whispering trees that shared secrets of the forest, and grizzlies in tutus dancing ballet. Oh, the laughter and gasps that would echo across the icy plains! These kids were not just writing; they were painting pictures with words, their imagination leaving a trail of stardust on paper. Every week, they'd journey through kingdoms of fiction, ascend mountains of metaphors, and sail on seas of similes, all under the twinkling Alaskan sky. Their stories, just like the northern lights, illuminated the dark, leaving a splash of color in the world. And so, in the heart of Alaska, these word wizards and their Yeti mentor continued their writing journeys, not just to create stories, but to make magic, laughter, and adventure come alive on the pages, entertaining anyone lucky enough to read their tales.

At PNA, we believe in the value of social-emotional learning, which is why we use Responsive Classroom as our curriculum. An especially important part of this program is having students discuss their hopes and dreams, and then collaborate in creating the classroom rules. This encourages students to take ownership of their environment and understand the expectations of their behavior. It creates a strong classroom community, and we have seen this process work in classrooms from Kindergarten to 8th grade. The process of creating classroom rules starts with a discussion of why rules are important. Then students have the opportunity to brainstorm their individual ideas about what makes for an ideal classroom environment. After sharing these ideas, the class works together to compose a list of rules. By being directly involved in this process, students gain a sense of pride and belonging, and they are better prepared to follow the rules that they have created.
