2nd Grade Book Pride!

After working hard for weeks, the Dragons got to publish and show off their nonfiction books to family and friends.  We hosted a "Meet the Author" event on Thursday, February 15th.  The Dragons spent the day practicing reading their books, getting the room ready, and (for a few perfectionist and slow pokes) putting the finishing touches on their books.   It was wonderful to see the sense of accomplishment many felt after working hard on a project and finally finishing it.  Some of the kiddos literally danced with joy while holding their newly published books.  

Lots and lots of reading practice...

   Before the event, the Dragons chilled in their presentation spots.  I'm not sure who started the trend, but someone turned their author sign around and wrote "closed", soon, everyone had some version of that on the back of their sign for the "off hours"...including the hilarious "out of boosniss".

While hosting the event, however, the Dragons were mostly gracious!

Keeping track of visitors to their "booth"...

The kindergartners made the authors book awards!
