supergiant: an extremely large brilliant star with a luminosity thousands of times greater than that of the sun. 44
We believe supergiant stars aren’t limited to outer space. We’re confident you’re astounded by the brilliance of superstar students in your labs and classrooms each and every day. And we’re offering you two opportunities to recognize them in the Spring/Summer 2012 issue of SHARE! 2011-2012 Creative Writing Contest Creative Education Institute proudly invites all students to participate in our (lucky) Thirteenth Annual Creative Writing Contest! Why is it lucky? Because this year, we have added an additional category … Science! Now every student and facilitator participating in the Essential Learning Systems, Mathematical Learning Systems, or Science Vocabulary Essentials program is welcome to enter! For their submissions, ELS and SVE students and facilitators may write original stories using the words from their recent lessons or cycles. MLS students and facilitators may write math word problems or puzzlers using any or several operators. Parents and teachers may help students with spelling, but the students must come up with their own ideas and complete all of the work. The deadline for electronic entry forms and story submissions is the second Friday in February 2012. If you are sending your stories electronically but mailing in your entry forms, please make sure they are postmarked by the first Friday in February. We will publish the results in the Spring/Summer Who’s Who issue of SHARE Magazine. For a complete list of rules, an entry form, and a sample ELS story, please visit www.ceilearning.com.
