Our day was filled with lots of laughter and writing! We had a mime, "Toma" act out some stories for us this morning. He encouraged the students to write their own stories following his 3 P's and S guideline. These stand for People, Place, Problem, and Solution. The students wrote stories as a class or in small groups as "Toma" traveled to the classrooms to help with suggestions. The day ended with "Toma" acting out some of the exciting stories our students wrote. One of the stories was about a mom trying to wake up her son for school as he keeps falling back to sleep. Finally the mom gets the child out the door for school, closes the door and then goes back to sleep herself. The creativity and originality was quite evident with the fantastic stories that the students wrote. Our Young Author's Assembly was a hit thanks to our students and special guest, "Toma".
