You're Invited! Gan Aleph's Writing Journey Begins...

Have you ever received a piece of mail that says "You're Invited!" on the top? Were you excited? Were you curious about what you were invited to?










This week the children of Gan Aleph received an invitation to become authors! The morah displayed the invitation on the white board projector and read the invitation aloud to the children.

Their eyes beamed with excitement and were eager to accept this special invitation. They took turns writing their names below as an R.S.V.P and understood that by writing their names they were accepting this opportunity to learn and grow as writers.

We then discussed what does it mean to be an author? What does an author write about? We decided that authors write about things and stories that are meaningful to them. The children received a paper with a heart shape on it that was divided into 5 sections. They each drew 5 different things in their heart that were meaningful to them or things that they loved.

 We sat together and shared some of our hearts with each other. This interactive brainstorming activity with be placed in their writing folders for them to refer to as we begin our writing journey in Gan Aleph. The children can't wait to get started!
