Our Mom goes to the Cooperstown Library every Thursday night to help a small group of Kdg. to 6th. graders learn to write stuffs... OBVIOUSLY, MOM would like to be more like US.
They Named themselves the Write Away Writers... LAST Feb. when they furst started... and that is what they do... they just Write thingys and Write thingys and Learn about how to do it even Better... like No Plagiarizing ... and How to Paraphrase... and how to make sure the 5 W's and a HOW get into their writings... Who What When Where Why.. and How.
That was all well and good fur writing Stories and stuffs... butt ONE NIGHT... a girrrrrl asked about Writing... SONGS... and
The Kidlets made a Welcome Mr. and Mrs. Ken Hall Sign... and they put their Names on it...
And soon the Library was FILLED with GRRREAT Music and Information...
Some of the Moms and Dads even Stayed to
Hear what Mr. Ken would be telling
the group about.
The group listened to One song that Mr. Ken wrote... called ♫ PUPPY LOVE♫... and there were NO WORDS... just the beautiful sound of his guitar...
He told the kidlets that when it comes to writing songs... there are LOTS of RULES... and there are NO RULES... He said that Song writing comes from within and pretty much KNOWS NO BOUNDS...
He also said that people who write songs... can't STOP doing it... either the Tune or the Lyrics just POP into their heads... and they are compelled to Write. ( MOM then spoke up and said that it is Exactly the Same fur those who Write STORIES... WRITERS JUST CAN'T...NOT Write.)
Mom came home from there SOOOO proud of her little group... They were Attentive and Interested and POLITE... and APPRECIATIVE... Mr. and Mrs. Hall were FABULOUS. EVERYBUDDY ♪ CLAPPED fur them ♪
Mom says that their Assignment fur Next Meeting Night is to Write a THANK YOU note to Mr. and Mrs. Hall... and to INCLUDE something about things they Learned and How Having them come HELPED them to become BETTER Writers.
GEE WHIZ... now that we have written all this down... we THOUGHT we had somethingy GOOD to tell about OUR MOM... butt in Hind
BTW.... we think we should mention that Mr. Hall is actually... Pastor Ken... from her beloved Pressed Butt Smearian Church..

I think your Mum deserves a lot of praise. Because if it hadn't been for your Mum, Mr Ken would never have come! And if it hadn't been for your Mum, he wouldn't have been able to answer all those questions. And if it hadn't been for your Mum, there might not even be a writing group!
Praise Mum!!

Yes, Gail and I agree too with the comments above. Your Mom deserves loads of praise as it was all 'cos of her that those kids had such a wonderful and enriching experience. We say a big JOLLY WELL DONE to Frankie and Ernie's Mom.
Toodle pip!

Sometimes we just gotta give our Peeps some praise...let them know now & then how much we appreciate them! Your Mama is pawsome for volunteering...maybe next time you guys can go & sing a melody or two? No?
Oh I wish I had been there to hear to lovely music!
Bravo bravo to your Mom for making such a great experience for the childern in the group.
I'd say your mom is a keeper!

How cool is that? This group is blessed by your mom's involvement. She was the founder. Just like Frankie founded Blogville she founded this group. Maybe that is why we are fond of yous!
Your Pals,
Murphy & Stanley
That looks like so much fun!
Hey FnE!

Is that a new denomination? We never heard of that particular one. Don't think the Presbyterians would lay claim to it. :)
It sure was nice of the Halls to come help the children learn about song writing, but you do have to give your mom credit for coming up with the idea and following through so everyone could have a good time.
No..No...She still gets credit, she ORGANISED it! AND she goes every week to work with the little peeps. Give her a treat!
How long does a song have to be?
Until it's over, of course.
That's so awesome of your mom to organize something like this, Frankie and Ernie, and it looks like so much fun!
That's pretty special. I can see from the pictures that these little humans are enjoying themselves and also being so attentive and well-mannered. I love this idea of filling the library with music for a little while. Books and music go so nicely together. Bravo on a wonderful event for the little kiddies!
it sounds like your Mom I loving where you are now
That is great work your Mom is doing, and those kids are great too - they wouldn't be there if they didn't want to be good writers. That is one skill Mom says is really lacking among the young peeps today. Kudos to your Mom.

VERY COOOOOOOL DUDES! I thinks your Moms is TOPS for gettin' Mr. Ken and his wife to come and teach the kiddies! Nows, I don't knows abouts YOUR Moms, butts if my Ma would have sung, all those kiddies would have run outta that place screamin' like banshees!!! BOL! Butts, good thingie Mr. Ken was doin' a good job and you didn't have to gives my Ma a call...hehehe
I do thinks that you should gives your Moms a special thank you.,...like maybe an extra poopie tonights...that's how I do it! ☺
Kisses,

All our Mamas cold learn something from your Mama! What a wonderful thing she does at the library AND what a great idea to ask Pastor Ken to answer all the songwriting questions!!
Kudos to you for training her so well!!

Wow,that's very cool your mom helps kids become better writers.
That would have been an interesting lecture about songwriting from Mr. Ken.
Thank you for your kind comments about Shiver on the POTP blog.
What a fun time! Congratulations to your mom for lining it up.
Your mom is awesome for helping children learn to become writers. Too many miniature humans never even go to the library. She is changing lives and that is pawsome. ♥
What a cool program to have. Your mom must love being around the kids each week. It's obvious that the teacher in her isn't done teaching yet.
I think your mom is amazing. She is very right about writers, too. They can't not write. It's impossible.
Love and licks,
Cupcake
