The Honest Woodsman and Winner!

Our elementary school has a "Story Telling Festival" once a year and the kids can all have the opportunity to tell their favorite story. Today the 1st grade had their festival. The three classes met in the schools little theater and each child that wanted to participate, had a chance to tell their story. There were about 7-8 kids that told stories. Then each grade chooses their 2 favorite stories and they will tell them in front of the entire school when they have the school wide storytelling festival.

Emmie really wanted a chance to tell a story. We choose the story of the "Honest Woodsman" and we practiced and practiced it.


This is a picture of her telling her story in front of the 1st grade.
She did such a great job today AND... she was chosen to be one of 2 first graders that will tell the story in front of the entire school! She was so excited!!!

I have a cute video of her telling the story but I can't get it to upload. I'll try again later.
