Visiting classes

Once again I had the privilege of listening to students read their own writing. This time I was at a small elementary school in Mechosin with students in grades six and seven. Gosh those kids had some great adventures to write about. One girl wrote about watching a pod of Orcas swimming in a bay, another wrote about exploring a cave in her own back yard, and a boy in the class wrote about the coloured lights he saw when he went with his family to Las Vegas. It reminded me that adventures come in all kinds of guises.

Each adventure is a bit like looking through a doorway into something unknown.
