Story Telling Festival



Emily has entered a story telling competition. Without my involvement, she entered, wrote a story, then said to me that she hopes I can come to her school to see her tell her story. I had to call the school to figure out what she was talking about. There were 12 kids from her grade that entered, she is one of 3 finalists. She is working on her story this week a little more to add some detail and length to it, (by recommendation of the judges). I am impressed with how she has taken the recommendations, and hopes she does well next week when K-3 grades compete against each other. The one finalist from that group will go on to the next level and compete against students from other schools. What a great experience this is for the kids who have participated.

Emily is old enough to write!! Rachel your kids are seriously adorable. I can't believe how big Emily is though. It looks like things are still going well for you and you are still teaching harp. I miss hanging out with you guys (especially in prep for those awful musicianship tests). Thanks for sharing your blog!
