Inspired by Jerry Pallotta

As you know we had the amazing opportunity to have an incredible author come and visit our school. We began the morning with kindergarten and other first grade classes in the theater for a very entertaining learning experience. Mr. Pallotta shared with us some of his books that he has written and even some that haven't been finished yet. How cool is that, we got a sneak peek! Students got to see where his inspiration comes from for his books and how learning about science can be fun. Jerry Pallotta is well known for the many ABC books he writes. These are not ordinary ABC books, but ABC books with tons of facts about many different topics. Here are just a few.

When then had the opportunity to go back to the theater later that afternoon and ask him some of our questions and things we were still wondering about after watching and listening to his presentation that morning. We got to go onstage and ask him ourselves. 

Here are a few things we learned about Mr. Pallotta and his writing.

And as if that was not enough learning from Mr. Pallotta, he even inspired us as writers. With the help of our fabulous Media Duo, Mrs. Gramling and Mrs. Beachler, we researched information and wrote our very own Animal ABC e-book. Take a listen. Our writers did an amazing job. Thanks Mr. Pallotta for inspiring us  :D
