Author Visit
Mrs Joanne Bader, a published author of children's books, came to our room this past week. She has written many Bible story books. Tuesday she came in and read to us a book she wrote. We gave each child a copy of Mrs. Bader's book and she was so kind to autograph them for us.
We will begin working on a book that will be published. We are excited to see our writing in a book. A parent permission form will be sent home next week so that your child's page can be included in our published book. You also have the opportunity to order a book for your child. Please sign the form as permission for your child to participate even if you choose not to order the book.
