A HUGE thank you to everyone that has helped to plan this week's Young Author's Day! This event, unique to Willow, is something that literally takes a year to plan - so a huge shout out to the YAD committee for planning yet another day that our Willow kids will remember for a long time! A big thank you to Linda Wagner for coordinating this year's special guests/authors!
The YAD Mission
YAD is an all-day, in-school celebration that recognizes our students as writers.
Each year a theme is chosen and activities are chosen to emphasize reading, writing and the arts.
An opening ceremony starts the day by providing momentum and excitement for the day’s theme.
The morning presents a time for the children to take part in the theme through various interactive stations.
In the afternoon, the children share the books they have written in small, mixed-age level groups led by an adult share leader.
A closing ceremony wraps up the day’s learning and ends the event.
Things to keep track of for Friday!
- Be sure to complete flags, and bring to closing ceremony!
- Reading goals will be announced at the closing ceremony, so let Grace know if you made it by noon on Friday!
- Stay tuned for any upcoming cup stacking classes... Lindi?!
