We got on our school shoes today and thoroughly enjoyed three assemblies by author-and all around entertainer-Eric Litwin.
Litwin is known for writing the first four Pete the Cat books. He rocked the audiences with age-appropriate songs and readings. Students learned lessons about call and response songs, rhythm, and storytelling. With fantastic audience participation, students moved and grooved without even realizing they were learning!
The author's visit kicked off our PTA's month-long celebration of PARP (Parents As Reading Partners). An events calendar went home earlier this week with dates for all the exciting PARP activities. Check below for a list of upcoming events.
Special thanks to our PTA for bringing in the author and our library for hosting the day.
Kindergarten students sing along with Mr. Litwin.
Second Grade teacher Mrs. Prosser served as one of several "Official Page Turner" volunteers during the assemblies.
Our cool cat library crew were dressed for the occasion. From left, Mrs. Graser, Mrs. Abbott, and Mrs. Eichhorn.
Third grade student Amaiya Bear helped sing a song during one performance.
It was hard to control the excitement during the show!
