A Visit From Our Mayor – May 2014

After our visit to decorate the trees in December, Mayor O’Leary treated those students to a pizza party. While at Rotella, he told the boys and girls, if they were good, he would come back to treat them ice-cream.

On The Day You Were Born – May 2014

We had an exciting visit from author, Debra Frasier. She spoke to the entire school about her writing process. The second grade students put on a performance in honor of her visit. This was based on her book On The Day You Were Born. In visual arts class, we created shadow puppets and did a shadow puppet theater performance. Our dance teacher, Mrs. Schultz  created dances to go along with this. Mr. Ladden and Ms. Ledbetter, our music teachers, created a song based on the last page for students to sing. Mr. Michaud videotaped and edited our show. After the performance was over, we had a book signing with Mrs. Frasier in our library. A portion of the book sales went to our library. It was a great experience for all!
