Ms. Rachel's class lucked out! They were able to visit with another author! Gaby Aldeman was supposed to virtually visit with another class but they were unable to come to the library. Gaby was flexible, had a crash course on how to use an interpreter and did her visit like a pro. Gaby read her book Paula's Patches. She explained to students what hand-me-downs are and read how Paula took something old or ripped and made it new again.
Ms. Rachel's upper grade students virtually visited with author & illustrator Anita Crawford Clark. Anita read her book Old To Joy and answered questions. One student wants to grow up and be an illustrator. Anita told her what to do to become the best
illustrator.
Ms. Boney's class is the only class Mrs. Taylor could not find an author to virtually visit with them. So instead, Mrs Taylor connected with Scholastic's StoryVoice. Students were able to watch author & illustrator Kazu Kibuishi (Amulet series) talk about his books and do some drawings.
Here's our 3rd virtual author visit on World Read Aloud Day! Author SA Rodriguez shared her book with Mr. Bennett's 5th graders. Students were impressed that she had seen a shark arm's length away from her and her son while snorkeling off the shores of Florida. She stayed calm and the shark swam away. Crazy!
For World Read Aloud Day Ms. Odunuga's 5th graders virtually met with author Susan Johnston Taylor. Susan read her animal poetry books to the students and answered questions. Students were fascinated to learn about the rare pink manta ray that lives in the waters around Lady Elliot Island. It's the only known pink manta ray.
Today is World Read Aloud Day. Ms. Rachel's students had a virtual visit with author Connie Bernstein Dow. Connie read her movement books to students while the students exercised along with the book. The students, Ms. Rachel and Mrs. Taylor got their workout done during this author visit!
Today 3rd grade students kicked off Texas Reads One Book. Three volunteers from the District Support Center came and read the first two chapters to students. Students will be able to keep the book Judy Moody is in a Mood. They also received a bookmark.
Mrs. Howards's 2nd grade readers practiced present and past tense irregular verbs by playing memory.
