Greetings from the Lake of the Ozarks and the School of the Osage! My name is Laura Hayes and you are listening to the Heritage Little Authors Podcast. Just a reminder: The original purpose of this podcast is to highlight and elevate student narrative writing. Throughout most of 1st semester, our 2nd graders honed their craft of storytelling in the library to support their narrative writing in the classroom. Once their writing is complete and evaluated by the teacher, they bring their writing to the library to workshop it with their peers. They decide when and how to do Foley sound effects to help tell their story. When they feel they are ready, they come to the library with their group and record their narratives while their peers perform Foley sound effects at just the right time. 

Today we have Mrs. Flaspohler’s class, and this episode is dedicated to our sweet Jaxon. Enjoy

Greetings from the Lake of the Ozarks and the School of the Osage! My name is Laura Hayes and you are listening to the Heritage Little Author's Podcast. This year’s word for the School of the Osage is resilience. At the beginning of the year, our staff was tasked with writing a story of resilience using their own grade level’s rubric and read that story on our podcast with Foley sound effects. We’ve dripped out the majority of these stories since August. Today I present to you our second grade team and their story of resilience. Our second grade team is comprised of Mrs. Adams, Mrs. Bond, Mrs. Riley, Mrs. Flaspohler, Mrs. Vest, Mrs. Miller, Mrs Towner, and Mrs. Brown. Enjoy!
