Preparations continue for Mary Amato Author Visit


With less than a week to go, things are in full swing for the author visit. Mrs. Gray is teaching all the students Our Pants Go Marching, one of songs sung in The Riot Brothers series.

The SAC (Student Author Committee) has been recruiting 1st and 2nd graders to join them in the Stinky Style dance (from Good Crooks book #3: Sniff a Skunk). Rehearsals begin soon.

Then we'll have a little dinner theater or, more accurately, Cafeteria Theater as the 6th graders perform three different Reader's Theater scripts of Ms. Amato's books on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday during lunch. We'll be filming, so check back later to see how they did.

In 6th grade, Invisible Lines by Mary Amato is being read aloud. In the book, Trevor does graffiti-style artwork.  Students are being encouraged to create their own artwork to show off during the author visit next week. As you can see from pictures below, things are looking good in 6th grade, too!





Make sure you check back again for further developments!
