I was so excited about the author visit that I forgot to take a single picture. If you took a picture of the day, I'd love to see it!
On Tuesday, February 19th, Newbery Award-winning author Linda Sue Park visited WT for a day of activities, cross-campus interaction, and fun! North campus 1st through 5th graders traveled to the City campus to hear Linda Sue Park speak about her writing and the importance of reading. She also told us about the puppies who keep her company when she is writing and the traditional Korean game that children play when they turn a year old. Both North and City students worked together to complete projects centered on Linda's books. First graders created their own book of animal sounds in different languages modeled after Park's picture book Mung Mung. Second graders read another picture book called What Does Bunny See? and created their own books on what colors they noticed around WT. Third and fourth graders read the book The Firekeeper's Son and created artwork on how to signify peace in modern times. Finally, fifth graders wrote and illustrated their own Sijo poems after reading Linda Sue Park's sijo poetry in the book Tap Dancing on the Roof. A special group of fifth graders also had the opportunity to eat lunch with Linda and ask her questions about her writing. I was so excited about the author visit that I forgot to take a single picture. If you took a picture of the day, I'd love to see it!
