No, we haven't started a garden in Room 221. We haven chosen a seed idea from the entries in our Writer's Notebook. Children were asked to choose stories that matter to them, stories that hold significance in their lives.
Ask your child to tell you the story they chose. Ask them not to summarize it for you, but to storytell it. Ask them to tell it long, to tell it so it gives you goosebumps.
When they've finished telling, please offer them a compliment or two. We are working to choose small moments, write (or tell) focused stories with lots of detail. Over the next weeks, we will get our stories down on paper. We hope to be published by
November 2.
