Dear Parents and Guardians,
While my focus for this class is on nurturing creativity and developing your learner’s writing skills, it is important to note that some writing prompts may include themes that are spooky, suspenseful, or mildly scary.
These themes are intended to spark imagination, encourage storytelling, and allow learners to explore different genres of writing. However, I understand that every student has unique sensitivities and comfort levels when it comes to scary or suspenseful content.
Please know that I am committed to creating a safe and supportive learning environment for all learners. You can find an in-depth book list outlining all of the texts referenced in our book club on the Outschool classroom page. Rest assured, the books on this list have been carefully curated through Common Sense Media and are all age-appropriate.
Kind regards,
Mrs Farzana
