Grass Valley Elementary School teacher and author inspires students to write “slices of their lives”

The worst mistake a student can make in Colleen Hord’s class is telling her that he doesn’t like to write.

 “Once a student tells me that, he’s on my radar. I will find a way to show him writing is fun and anyone can write,” Hord said. “I believe all students have a voice that needs to be heard.”

A second-grade teacher at Grass Valley Elementary, Hord has written five books for Rourke Publishing Group. The titles are Clean and Green Energy; My Green Lunch; My Safe Community; Need it or Want It?; and What’s my Role?. She has a December deadline to complete three biographies and four fiction books.
