This book anthology of poems and stories came to life when the students of Ms. Angala's self-contained class explored the rich relationship between visual imagery and the written word. The program is designed to support the acquisition of literacy skills in children with diverse learning styles.
This book project conducted at Jefferson Junior High School in Room 104, was made possible with the ideas from Beth Olshansky's "Picturing Writing" and the generous support of
The Washington Post Grants in Education .

Ms. Angala,
I am so proud of you and the students. What a wonderful feeling it is to know that I am in the presence of famous writers. May you continue to make the world of words come alive. Keep striving to do more and to do your best. You are great.
Yours sincerely,
Ms. Crosby
Hi Marisol!
After viewing your slide presentation, I felt that saying something would be in a way 'diminishing' the impact that your kids' work and yours made on me! All I can say is thank you for sharing this magical experience (though vicariously) . A quiet thank you is indeed an affirmation that you did exceptionally well!
I especially appreciated the children's thoughts in their "Right Now" poems, "Autumn and Fall" poems, remembrance of 911 poems, and the "I Am..." poems. As I write this, I still remember being impressed with Shamika B, James C, Aminique T, Ethel B, Cristina, Cornelius, among others... Please extend to them my great admiration of how they were able to weave the words that revealed their beautiful minds at this young age. By the way, how old are these kids again?
You are really doing a wonderful job, Marisol! Well done!

Maria,
