We invited students from other classes to read their writing with us. We invited our friends and family and students from other classes to be in the audience. We also invited the writer, Bino Realuyo to come. In the fall we went to see Bino read from his book The Umbrella Country. We loved the book and we decided to read it in our class. Since we went to his reading we wanted to invite him to come hear us read. We asked him to speak at the end of the night.

We put all of our writing together in a book. Everyone who came got a copy of the book. We all signed each others books on our writing. We had food, drink and music.

Here are some pictures
