Carole also did her presentation to the Third, Fourth and Fifth Graders and the a separate presentation to the Second Graders in the afternoon. The response from all of the classes was enthusiastic with what looks like a lot of future literary giants.
After lunch Rotary also sponsored a presentation by the Franklin Conservatory Park on Butterflies. Two representatives from the Conservatory met with each First Grade class separately with a lot of interaction by the children.
The Literacy Committee felt like the integration of two resources in out community will have a far reaching impact on the children beyond yesterdays event. I think children will have more interest in trying their own writing, but also going to the conservatory to see the 2000 butterflies.
