Alaskan teacher/photographer/author, Cindy Lou Aillaud, was at our school today. She shared her book "Recess at 20 Below." The visit was sponsored by my school's PTA. Cindy Lou did 2 assemblies (1 for primary, 1 for intermediate(top photo)). You could tell she was a former teacher, her programs were adapted for each level of kids and they were interesting. During the rest of the day, she met with smaller groups in the library to answer questions and talk about her writing process (lower photo). Our staff had a potato bar potluck in her honor for lunch! She autographed books for students and staff. At the end of the day she organized a game in the gym call "blizzard" which involves all of the student body. The entire school was divided into 2 teams and each grade level was brought up to throw "snowballs" into a container. It was amazing to hear the school cheer for each grade as they came up to compete. The scores were kept and at the end of the game, were combined to make a "school record!" Cindy Lou was affordable and I would recommend her visit to any elementary school.
