Book Release: Our Golden Words

Yesterday was a big day for writers in Room 241! For the last few weeks we've been working hard on our realistic fiction stories. We took our stories and turned them into a class book, and yesterday we had our book release party!



We invited the writers from Ms. DeTolla's class to come, and gave each of them their own copy of our book too.



While we read our stories aloud, our audience could read along!



Afterwards, authors autographed books for lucky guests!

Helen Keller

Helen as a young woman


Helen later in her life

Last week we read the biography of Helen Keller. Helen had lots of amazing moments in her lifetime. The most famous was the moment when she first understood the word, "water" at the pump with Annie. If you were going to write a small moment (seed) story from Helen's life, which moment would you pick to write about? Why?
