Alexander II
Just got back from Alexander II Elementary School in Macon, Georgia, where my sister Liz is a fourth grade teacher. She lent me her sweater and everywhere I went, I got a double-take from a student who thought I was “Miss Jones.” We never thought we looked that much alike but the kids all thought we were twins!
200 fourth and fifth graders came to special sessions of Kids Talk Story. They all wrote and a few got to share. I was knocked out by their talent and I only wish I’d had more time with them. More later, including pictures.

The children at Alexander II can’t stop talking about their day with Margaret. They all want to write their story. I have never seen such excitement. I no longer hear the distressing “Oh, do we have to?” when I ask students to get out their writing journals. My only problem now is that all day, every day,I hear “When can we write our stories?” They cannot wait for Margaret to return and ask about her every day. Thanks Margaret!!
