This was the first time I shared Going Fishing with an audience. I showed the students the actual hat, the Icelandic Húfa, that was worn in the book. This was made possible through the courtesy of young Friðrik, whose parents mailed it from Iceland. Then I had a volunteer help me prompt the audience. When I read the story and pointed to my volunteer, she held the Húfa up high and the audience would say together, "Don't forget your hat." |
 We didn't forget the hat. |

Mrs. Chester's Class Book from our Workshop  We played with their art to develop an idea into a sequence with a beginning, a middle, and an end, to get a story outlined that they could then fully develop as they wrote the words. Can you "see" a story here? We had a "ball". |
