Time For Acorn Stories

By: Lianna Kali, Director of Instructional Innovation
Since the school’s inception, Live Oak students have been publishing selected polished writing pieces that represent their exemplary work for the year in their Acorn Stories books. Over the next few weeks, every class will come to the ChangeMaker Lab to turn these meaningful writings into bound books that showcase contributions from every member of their grade. 
Acorn Stories are intended to be student-led, making them the creators of their own finished product as they learn and apply the skills necessary for each year’s book format. Starting in kindergarten, students are making stapled books with hand-drawn covers. As they move along in their K-8 journey, their production will get more and more sophisticated - building skills like sewn binding, saddle stitching, and stab binding - until they produce hardback bound books in the eighth grade. With each year’s finished collection, students will be able to truly show their growth in their writing styles and complexity, as well as their development of new design and production skills.    

Over the next few weeks, be on the lookout for your child to come home with their copy of Acorn Stories and happy reading!
