3 days...

Well I can't believe that it's almost time to go again!  The group this year is made up of 15 (I think...) people from First Church in Marlborough and Bedford and the Federated Church of Norfolk, MA.  Together we will be working on construction with an organization called lowernine.org.  We will also be working with 5th graders from New Orleans schools on a writing project.  The goal of the writing project is to help kids learn to be resilient.  We will be using the phrases:  "I Can..."  "I Am..." and  "I Have...".  We will also be using a book called "Fortunately, Unfortunately" by Remy Charlip.  Using this book as an example the kids will write their own "Fortunately, Unfortunately" story.  We will then work on creating a book of all these stories for each classroom and have 1 published for them.  I am very excited about being able to share this week with some old friends and meeting new ones!  I am sure that it will be another amazing experience that I am blessed to be a part of!  Now all I have to do is pack!  I guess that is what Friday night is for!  :)
