Topsham, July 18

Today at camp, Eliza started us off on a good note with opening circle. She read a page from a book she liked, Rumpelstiltskin's daughter. Then, we all talked about the elements of a fairy tale in case one of us wanted to try to write one. We listened to a video called "Time to walk the dog" for any people who were still unsure of what to write for their learning autobiographies. Then, we split into a younger and older group. I was in the younger group and we did a flip book. We passed it around- you either had to draw a picture or write 3-5 sentences to keep the story going. All of the stories ended up really funny. We dressed Emma up in pens and pencils right before our snack a recess break. When we came back inside, we worked on our autobiographies and listened to a song that people changed the lyrics to. We had a wonderful ending with Abby reading a paragraph from her 14 chapter book about wolves.
