World Read Aloud Day

To celebrate World Read Aloud Day, two classes had virtual author visits in the Gillspie Library!

First, Ms. Leard’s and Ms. Young’s Kindergarteners met Rebecca Gardyn Levington, author of BRAINSTORM!, a new picture book. Students heard the book read aloud by the author and asked some questions. They wondered how she came up with the idea for the book and how the book was made. The final student comment came from Charlie K., who simply said, “I love your book!”

Next, Ms. Haas’s 4th grade class met Kate Albus, who read from her debut novel A Place to Hang the Moon. She answered questions from the students about her writing process, her inspiration, and her favorite books. Then, Ms. Albus asked the students to recommend books to her, and the 4th graders delivered with a slew of favorite titles!
