A character in one of Natalie's books creates her own newspaper and it totally sparked this creativity in Natalie. It has been so fun to watch her create and work and get excited. One night before bed she made this poster in a frenzy without telling us what she was working on, and she was so excited to wake up the next day and start working on it. The Poulsen Times was born!
Jack was more than happy to participate in this project, and he and Natalie created their own "office" downstairs.
The next step was involving the neighbor kids. They created the "Pouleick Times" and delivered little papers to the immediate neighbors. It was so funny listening to them talk about their different articles and what they wanted to be in charge of. Natalie often gets excited about things but loses interest pretty quickly, so it was really fun to see her stay the course with this one.
My family was very supportive of the whole endeavor and wanted to contribute whatever they could. Since Natalie is the Editor in Chief, she assigned everyone different projects. Sam was to create a list of "Top Best Songs," Jack was assigned to write about soccer teams, Max rated the top ten best Pixar movies, Sara will write an animal column, Krispy will contribute art, and Annie is just overall a morale booster haha. Natalie interviewed my parents, coming up with her own questions and doing the interviews over the phone. It was very cute. Jack wanted to make a Travel Corner, which inspired Natalie so much that she made her own, and my mom contributed jokes. It's been fun to involve everyone. It amuses me to watch Natalie take charge of what she wants and doesn't want in her newspaper.
