Everything is a Story!

As part of our Literacy Week at Ruth King Elementary, we were lucky to attend two great presentations. The first one was by Troy Wilson, a local author of Perfect Man. Mr. Wilson explained to us how important it is to have perseverance as a writer, as most experience many rejections before they get to publish their first book. Our boys and girls also demonstrated a lot of interest in learning about the process of writing and illustrating and how these two are connected!

On Thursday then, we were blown away by Anne Glover, a storyteller extraordinaire. She captivated her audience with her beautiful stories, her authentic voice and... her string tricks! All of the students were so inspired at the end of the presentation and they all wanted strings and tell their own stories! After all... everyone is a storyteller! Strings can be ordered here.
Check out this little video that captures some of the magic:

What a great week it was!
We did also create some wonderful watercolour art and shared our favourite books with the class.

Next week should be equally fun as we are getting ready to visit the Chinese School in Chinatown in Downtown Victoria on Wednesday! All of the permission forms have been come back (Thank you!) and everyone is excited about a fun day of learning about a different culture and of course, spending time with our little buddies from Ms. Walker's class!
