Hello Vintage Moms!
We are quickly approaching the 2011 Author's Fair (I'll give all the info I know in a following post), and so all those interested in being a part of our community book project, please come! We will meet in our normal classroom this upcoming Monday, April 4 from 12-2.
Just like we did last year, we are going to put togther a book with a common theme, but each child/family can tailor their page(s) to their abilities and what they have been studying in their homeschool time.
The theme of the book is "What's Above, What's Beneath." I'll explain more about this theme on Monday, and we will brainstorm ideas and even make practice pages, so the kids (and moms!) get a feel for what the final product will be. Each child's page will feature his/her artistic response to something he/she is learning. Each page will also have a poetry component, and we will talk about this on Monday as well, and write some practice poems!
So we will start the project on this Monday, each family will take their pages home and complete them, and then bring them back to our official Old School Monday on April 25, where we will assemble them into the final book. The Author's Fair will be the Saturday of that week, and I hope we can schedule a time for us all to be there to present our book like we did last year.
I hope a lot of you are able to make it on Monday, and share in the beginnings of this fun project! If you can't come on Monday but still want to be part of the book project, please leave a comment or send me an email and I'll give you the info you need.
In fact, if you are planning on coming and participating in the project on Monday, would you please leave a comment and let me know? Thanks!
