Young Authors' Tea

The big end-of-the-year event for the Kindergarteners at Will's school is the Young Author's Tea right before school is over.  Beginning early in the second half of the school year, they begin to write and illustrate their own book.  They had to design a cover, title page, and write and illustrate 12 pages of their story (one sentence per page).  Then, the children with their parents were divided up in groups of 5-8 or so and each child read their story out loud to the group.  I was really impressed by what the teachers had taught these kindergarteners and really proud of our son!  Will spoke up so well and read his story perfectly.  It was, of course, all about Star Wars and dedicated to his good friend, Sam, who also loves Star Wars.
