There is a strong emphasis on writing across the curriculum and throughout the grades (K-5) at Dailard. We believe writing begins with ideas - ideas that are important to the author. You will often see students sharing their ideas in class and turning them into polished pieces of fine literature like the story below by Katie:

"Come on, Charles!"

            It was a freezing cold Monday.  We didn't have a ride.  A little five-year old boy peddled behind me.  I'm Lillian Allison Lander - I prefer Lilly.  Charles is my five-year old brother.  I am older and in fifth grade.  They call me "Ohio girl." I have brown curly hair, blue eyes, freckles and clear braces.

            It was the third week of school and Charles' third week as well in first grade.  He is small, has brown chocolate eyes and a plop of hair on his head.
