Mo Willems is a Theodor Seuss Geisel Medal winner and his books are loved by early readers. 
In this class learners will have a chance to turn their love for reading into a love for writing. Each lesson we will read a book, discuss the main elements of the story and then complete a writing and/or drawing activity based on the book. 
Learners should already be able to read and write. This is a week long camp class. Learners can join for one week or stay for the whole season. Topics may shift based on learner's enrollment.
