826 Seattle

I started volunteering this week at 826 Seattle which is a part of the same organization as 826 Valencia in San Francisco. The location in San Francisco is a combination pirate supply store and youth writing center, the location in Seattle is a combination space travel supply store and youth writing center. Yesterday I volunteered with the Mr. Geoduck field trip where a class of, this week 2nd graders, come in and collaboratively write a book that we then publish. All in 2 hours and each kid gets to take home a book.

Yesterday I was part of the team that was putting together the books and then I was in charge of putting them in the binding machine which was fun. Next week is spring break so there's no field trip but the week after I'll be doing it again. I also got trained yesterday to volunteer to work in the store. The store sells everything you'd need (except for maybe a rocket ship and fuel I guess) to plan your very own adventure to the moon. Let me know if you need anything! All the proceeds from the store go to support the writing programs that go on in the back.

Also here is a picture of a dinosaur garden Rosie and I found last week:
