Polacco visits HCS

 

A master at work

The Great Author Visits HCS

Today was a fine one. The whole school was filled with good will toward Patricia Polacco and her body of work. All students had the experience of hearing several of her wonderful books. And what a treat it was.

Art and Spanish Collaborate for Patricia Polacco

There is so much excitement about this author's visit. The collaboration between teachers has resulted in some very interesting and beautiful ways. Take the book Appelemandos Dreams and see what happens when the Art and Spanish teachers combine their extreme talents. They had their students illustrate the animals from the book and hung their work at the school entrance to enchant Patricia Polacco upon her arrival. Delightful!

This quote is true for me - considering the next couple of weeks and the start of school. Today I contacted several local libraries in support of the Patricia Polacco visit and was met with overwhelming support. I hope to invite those generous librarians to one of the sessions.

HCS is going to be so happy with this visitor

Patricia Polacco is coming! Will be herein just 4 weeks time. How? I do not yet know and the school is not yet open to prepare for the first day of school due to roofing project. So the reading specialists and I will confer at Panera this evening to put our heads together and design a school-wide program in honor of this great lady.
