A Day in Torrington, CT schools
Yesterday my friend Pat drove me between the three elementary schools in Torrington, Connecticut. I read to two kindergarten classes, spoke about the writing process with two fifth grade classes, and met many of Pat’s students. Here’s a shot of her with some. The girl on the left came back to see me though she’s been phased out of the ELL program. The girl in the pink leopard pants had asked Pat earlier this week if she thought I would hug her. Yes! My college students are awesome, but it's nice to get out and bask in little kid cuteness now and then.
While waiting for other students to arrive so we could talk about my book Aani and the Tree Huggers, some girls tried on the sari I brought. Here’s one happy girl.
