The South Carolina Young Writer's conference...

Our Elementary school is the host school for this yearly young writer's conference. One student per grade gets invited to attend (except our school is allowed 1 student per 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade class being the host school) and Nate had the priviledge of being chosen from his class to attend today. He had a really good time; he said he got to meet and hear from several different published children's authors. In fact, when I was picking him up I caught the tail end of the last author and Nate looked so cute sitting there listening with pen and paper on his lap taking notes...he looked so "professional". And at the end I let him choose his favorite author to purchase a couple books from and get them signed. He was so proud! It was such a neat experience for him I just had to share!
