Harold and the Purple Crayon
Harold and the Purple Crayon by Crockett Johnson is a fantastic book about the adventures of a little boy and his purple crayon. In Kindergarten Writer's Workshop, our main goal is to instill in the children that they are authors and can tell their stories through pictures, words or a combination of both. Each year, the children read this book to ignite creativity and nurture the ability to tell their stories.
Each child is given their own "purple crayon" and are encouraged to take an adventure with their imaginations and draw their story. Children during any stage of writing are encouraged to tell their story with sentences, words, letters, scribbles, or dictation from a teacher, come and see the finished products in the Children's House Wing.
