Our Young Author.

Connor is now a published author. In fact, every kid in Connor's first grade class is now a published author.

Each kid in the class was given the first half of a common saying and then they came up with their own ending and also made an illustration.

Connor was given "If you lie down with dogs...." and decided the logical ending was that you'll get licked in the face. This conclusion was based on Connor's personal experience with his Grandparent's dogs, which do indeed lick him in the face when he lays on the floor with them.

Some of my other favorite sayings from the book include the following:

Many hands make germs.

Look before you cross the road. 

Silence is quiet. 

Practice makes for a lot of work. 

and

A picture is worth $1,000.

All the students enjoyed a classy snack of crackers, cheese, and juice. Then the class listened to their teacher read their book, and then each kid went around and signed the other student's books. 

It was a really fun way for the kids to always have a keepsake from first grade.
