The big first grade Author's Party was on Thursday, May 19. Each first grader presented a book that they had written, illustrated, and published over the last 4 months. These kids have worked so hard on these books during Writing Workshop, and their hard work definitely showed. All of the books were creative, unique, and entertaining. Thanks to a very talented parent, Paul Kirkpatrick, the cover artwork looked fantastic and made the books even more special for the kids.
Colby chose to write his book about his heart, and hearing him tell his personal story from his own perspective was awesome! I have so many favorite lines from this little book, but the one that pretty much sums up how he feels about having half of a heart is this one..."I just love having a half of a heart. It's so, so, so fun!!!" We are so incredibly proud of him, and we are very thankful that he is proud of the heart God gave him.
