5th Grade Momentos: Pvpusd 2023

A Writing Project for 5th Graders

The Palos Verdes Peninsula Unified School District (PVPUSD) is excited to announce the release of another GATE anthology. This year, the 5th-grade students have come together to create a truly unique collection of their favorite things, complete with their own personal stories.

The district invited all 5th graders to participate in this special assignment, asking them to select an item of personal significance and share its story. Once submissions were received, students in the GATE program took on the role of publishers. They expertly crafted the introduction, dedications, and disclosures, while formatting the stories for publication. The students also designed the cover art and ensured the quality of the submitted artwork. In addition, they meticulously proofread each story for spelling and grammar, taking great care to maintain the original author's voice. To top it off, the students even worked on marketing and crafted advertisements to promote the publication.
