tonite, to celebrate all of the young author's, the parents were invited to come and see their accomplishments. we started off in the gym where we watched a slide show filled with pictures of the first graders reading. then we moved to their classroom where the each student got a turn sitting in the "author's chair" while the teacher read one of their stories.
hayden chose his story "i just got started" a story that he wrote on 12/15/09. and here it is:
I just got started playing Wii. "Mom, NO SCHOOL," I said. "I know you don't want to go to school, but you have to go to school today." "okay, I will." I got home. "Can I play Wii?" "No. Every time you come in you always want to play Wii." I listened to my mom. "I'll play the Wii later." I want to play Wii ooooooohhhhhhhh mannnnnnnnn wii wii wiiiiiii.
his about the author page read like this:
My name is Hayden. I live in Redford. I have 1 brother and 1 sister. My favorite foods are macaroni and cheese and cheese pizza. In my spare time I like to play soccer. I like learning about animals. If I could have one wish I would ask for lots and lots of ice cream.
I hope you enjoy reading my stories.
we were also able to walk around the class and look at every one's stories and "about the author" page.
hayden has told me several times throughout this year that when he grows up he wants to be an author and an illustrator. he has come home several times and just wanted to sit at the table and write a story and illustrate the pages.
when all of the kids had their stories read, we were all given something to drink (juice boxes for the kids and water for the adults) and a brownie. we then all stood and toasted the author's.
we had a really nice evening and are so proud of all of the hard work hayden has done this year!!
