Writer's Cafe at Anna's School

Anna participated in a writer's cafe at her school. She read an original piece of writing. There were two children from her class who were able to do it. Anna wrote about Mocha, and she was so excited. Yesterday afternoon she carefully chose her outfit...after we had everything out, she changed her mind and decided she would rather wear something "a bit fancier". She is so funny!

At the "writer's cafe" there were children from all grade levels and their families. The school lobby was transformed into a "cafe" with tables, sofas, and little lanterns. There were snacks and servers who served drinks. It was so cute. There was also a published author/illustrator (Clay Carmichael who wrote Used Up Bear) who read and discussed the writing process!

I wasn't sure how Anna would feel...would she still feel comfortable to read into a microphone in front of a room full of people? She did wonderful, and we were so proud of her!
