The VERY Busy Day!

Today the second graders had a fabulous experience while visiting the MSU State College Campus for the production of The Frog Princess.  The play was an African take on the story, and the students loved the music and costumes.  Unfortunately field trips have been cut, so we thank the 549 Foundation for providing the transportation and we also thank you the parents, for covering the admission costs for your child!  Here are some pictures of the kids high-fiving the actors after the wonderful performance!



Some of the girls with the Frog Princess herself! 





After we returned to the school, we were greeted with a presentation by Marsha Wilson Chall.  Chall has published a children’s chapter book and seven picture books, including One Pup's Up, Up North at the Cabin, and BonaparteHer books have received numerous awards: an International Reading Association Teacher’s Choice Award, American Booksellers Pick of the Lists, Parents Choice, and Smithsonian Notable recognition.   Chall shared with us the journey of becoming an author and the process of writing a book. She also shared with us a sneak peak at her new book!

  1. Great job Mrs. Dahlin! This is such an innovative and creative idea. I hope when Abby goes to school that she has an involved teacher!
