We have a new genre section in our library. We now have a section for our wordless picture books. These books develop fluency, vocabulary, and speaking skills; show us a new way to love books; build visual literacy; and inspire the artists in all of us. Come check 'em out!
Ursula Vernon came to speak with our students about her writing and illustrating process. She shared with us that fairy tales are a great way to be inspired. She and the kids wrote a new twist on The Princess and the Frog... The Princess and the Shark. This was the story of the prince who was turned in to a shark in a freak nuclear waste accident involving a sea urchin. Ms. Vernon signed personalized books, and she was interviewed by two of our students for a technology research project. What a great visit!
