As we settle into the new school year, our students are busy getting comfortable with the craft of writing. Each grade level has unique goals this first quarter that build the foundation for lifelong writing skills. Our kindergarteners are mastering the basics—writing their first names and understanding what makes a sentence. First graders are building their writing stamina and learning to capture their ideas on paper, while our second graders are discovering the importance of following a structured writing process.

Here in the library, our first and second grade students are beginning an exciting journey to become master storytellers, learning to craft tales that captivate with rich details and engaging narratives.

Today, we're thrilled to share something truly special. Mrs. Anderson's first grade class recently visited the library to share their latest writing pieces. Enjoy!

Greetings from the Lake of the Ozarks and the School of the Osage. This is Laura Hayes and you are listening to the Heritage Little Author's Podcast. Last week, we heard from our staff and if you haven’t had a chance to listen. I would encourage you to go back and catch up. As a companion to last week’s episode, I have asked some experts on the first week of school. 3 kindergartners! We all know that if you want an honest account of anything, you really need to ask a Kindergartner. You will hear a lot of tangents, squirming, and playing with the microphone… all of which is spot on when it comes to 5 and 6 year olds. Enjoy.
