Meadow Elementary School’s Remote Students Meet Popular Author
Shannon Olsen Talks about the Writing and Publishing Process with 3rd Graders
Mrs. Campbell and Ms. Bascelli's remote third grade classes enjoyed a visit from the best-selling author of Our Class Is a Family and elementary school teacher, Ms. Shannon Olsen. The virtual classes of Meadow Elementary School read her book as part of their back-to-school activities to build on classroom community. At the end of the highly interactive presentation, students asked questions about writing and how she worked collaboratively with the illustrator to get the messages in the story across. In addition, the author also taught the class different songs and activities that they could continue to use to build their classroom community virtually.
