Children Inspiring One Another

 

 

 

 

It was a busy lunch bunch day on Friday. It started with Brett and Max Greenstein deciding they wanted to write a book. When we read our books we will provide them with details about the author, who wrote the book, and the illustrator. On this day, Max Greenstein and Brett decided to write a book together. Max wanted to make sure that both names were written on the front cover of their book with the word author (Athr) written.

Brett and Max worked together on their story line. Then there was a problem, who was going to be able to take the book home? They negotiated taking turns. They decided that Brett will take it home first, then he will mail it back to Max. Great cooperation and problem solving.

Soon they had other children sharing in their excitement of writing books. Jacob, Nathan, and Drew came over. Jacob and Nathan wanted to write picture books with many pages as well. Drew decided he only wanted to write one page to his book. Max became the expert and showed Nathan how to secure the pages together using a stapler. There was some trial and error involved before this process was completed. First the pages were stapled but they could not turn the pages so that it could be read. What to do? We found a staple remover and figured out that in order to turn the pages we needed to first make sure the edges of the paper were straight together.

After this process was complete the children were eager to read their books to one another. Children are truly inspiring!
