Young Author's Fair

Monday was the Garrison/Baker School Young Author Fair. This was the K - 6 graders. They each experienced what it was like to write a book. When we all walked into Baker Hall, we eventually got settled in our seats. We anticipated a presentation.........

Gretchen, our local Author, was the guest speaker this year!
I think everyone should have her book in their personal library.

Her talk was facinating. I grew up here in Snake Valley and she revealed information I didn't know about! 

She did a great job holding everyone's attention.......

Ms. Phillips, representing the schools, formally acknowledged Gretchen's achievement and to thank her for taking the time to share wonderful information & stories from her book........

Afterward, the kids got to work on a project while the rest of us got to view and read their books. I have to say, we got a great crop of talented little authors and illustrators here in Snake Valley! I was impressed!

The kids really enjoyed signing all their peers books!

I went ahead and took some pictures of all the K, 1, 2 graders books:

And, my little author/illustrator ~ Ava Moriah  :)

I have to say that I was shocked with Ava's book. One, that it wasn't about a horse! Two, that she thought of Isaac for one of her subjects!  Hahaha
They all did such a wonderful job; you could tell by their drawings and the story lines.....
Plus, I think they had fun with it :)

At the end of the day the kids had to do their homework. They had to write and draw about the Young Author's Fair. 
I thought it was cute when she drew a picture of the guest speaker (with her book), Gretchen!

Gretchen, you made an impression! 
Thank you!
And also to the staff!  :)
