Webster Fest

Last night we attended Webster Fest at Webster School. This is a night where all the children's work is displayed and celebrated. At Webster one of their main programs is called Readers and Writers Workshop. The children begin writing books in the beginning of the year. Emily LOVES this part of the day (and most other parts too) mostly because it involves drawing and paining the illustrations for the books. The theme of the book below was A Winter Story which also had to have a solvable problem in it. I was thrilled to hear it was about skiing! The children paint/draw the illustrations first and then they "look at them, wait for the magic to happen and then write the words down before they forget!"
