Ian's book launch


We now have another published author in the family! Ian's third grade class has been studying community. They read books, had visitors come in and talk about community, and went on four field trips to see different parts of the community.
They each wrote various essays and poems during the course of their studies. Their student teacher contacted Michael Sweet at Learning for a Cause, a non-profit student press. He was instrumental in assisting Ian's teachers in the process.

The class worked together on making a map of their community. They each had their houses and some of the places they had visited. They worked very hard!

We started the evening with supper. The parents brought sandwiches, fruit, veggies, chips, and dessert. The room was also decorated with posters and flowers that the kids had made. (Isabelle is giving the flower bunny ears.)
