Sherry Crelin (her granddaughter is in Mrs. Ison’s class) for Friday, 3/29 at 9:30 a.m. and may go until 10:20 a.m. Her book is: “My Chickens Lay Eggs” and is about raising chickens in their backyard. She will read the story; discuss the writing process; important things to include in writing a story (perspective, topic, audience, characters, place, time, etc).
