Sixth-grade students at Grassland Middle are getting an opportunity to share their passion for words.

GMS teacher Shannon McBryde's English/Language Arts (ELA) Discovery class allows students to create poetry, fairy tales and more in a fun and inspiring atmosphere. Pieces of student work are on display around the classroom, and when they are not writing, students are performing original dramas or competing in literary games they have developed.

"Every day with these students is a gift," said McBryde. "I am impressed not only by their language skills and enthusiasm but by their encouragement of each other and the bonds they have formed this semester at GMS."
