We Made it to the 100th Day!!!

We are so excited that we reached the 100th day of first grade!  The extra bonus was that we also earned our fourth jewel party!  The Superheroes voted to have a stuffed animal day!  
We had fun doing everything the 100th day!  

Author Visit - Jennifer Hamburg

The Superheroes had a very special visitor today - Jennifer Hamburg.   Published author and mom to Hazel.   We were all very excited to ask questions from a "real" author.  First, Ms. Hamburg read her story  Monkey and Duck Quack Up!  We had a lot of fun with that one because it rhymes and it has a surprising ending.  BUT, the best part was Ms. Hamburg shared with us the process a writer goes through and showed us a book that has NOT been published yet!  That's right we got to be the very first kids who read the story;  Billy Bloo is Stuck in Goo.  

Thank you so much Jennifer Hamburg for sharing the writing process with us!

Writer's Workshop

In our quest to becoming published authors...  we must go through the writing cycle.  As you can see it is a messy process that involves a lot of input by other writers.  The students conference together to help each other revise their writing to make it better.  It is a long and arduous process.  
The Superheroes are definitely up to the task!
