Today I went to Little e's second grade class
and shared my ideas for this year's book project.
We talked, and each child came up with an idea
for their page in the book. We talked about details,
and how their page should reflect who they are.
And, that they should be excited about their idea,
so making their illustration would be fun.
Another parent volunteer came, and took notes
while the students and I talked.
(Having a second pair of hands is absolutely essential!)
I'll copy the ideas onto individual slips for next class,
so each child has a reminder of their idea.
We meet again after Halloween to start the art,
and I just can't wait to see how they express themselves.
I tell you, waiting for the art to start is the most difficult
part of these projects for me.
