Guest Author Reads to CtRCS 1st Grade

On Friday we had a very special guest, author and Catholic school alumna and parent, Valerie Sweeten. Valerie joined us to read her two books, "Shh, Listen: In the Rainforest" and "Shh, Listen: In the Safari." The students were able to take a quick journey to each of these habitats through the words as well as the pictures and illustrations in these books. After reading her books to our Pre-K, Kindergarten and 1st grade students, Valerie was kind enough to answer the students' questions, not only about the books and their locations, but also the process of writing and publishing books. It seems we have lots of aspiring writers!
