That’s a wrap for Week 3 Kidlit Summer Schoolers, but look out …here comes our fourth and final week!
We hope you’ve been enjoying Summer School so far and discovered new ways to work, to help your writing and illustrating—and you—grow in the realm of Heart and Humor.
As always, try not to miss class as much as you can. Posts are offered Monday through Friday right here on the blog through our fabulous faculty guest bloggers. And as you know all you have to do is virtually show up here. If you subscribe to this blog, school comes to you instead through your inbox. And don’t forget if you’re not already subscribed, just head to the right sidebar and subscribe—it’s that easy!
Take a look at your class schedule for Week 4. There’s still so much more for you to learn!

These 3 weeks have been amazing, everyone 🙂 I’ve been enjoying EVERY post and saving all the exercises for when I can concentrate on them 🙂 As far as I know, I’m “perfect” attendance, the only question being whether or not I posted on Wendy’s within 24. Anyway, it’s been great and am REALLY looking forward to this week 😀
