Award winning author/storyteller Margaret Read MacDonald visits North Beach
I'm really excited that we will have the opportunity next month to host Margaret Read MacDonald at North Beach. She will be at the school all day on March 1st and will meet with all classes. Then she will be joining us at our Multicultural Potluck on the evening of March 2nd. Dr. MacDonald is an award-winning folklorist who has published dozens of books featuring tales from around the world. In preparation for her visit, we will be reading her books as well as other folktales, discussing different types of folktales, their origins, and the similarities among stories from different areas of the world. We started out last week reading Mabela the Clever, a tale from the Limba people of Sierra Leone, The Squeaky Door, from Puerto Rico, and we wrapped up the week with a discussion of fables and a reading of Bat's Big Game. There will be a flyer sent home in the upcoming week with information on pre-ordering Dr. MacDonald's books from the Secret Garden Bookshop. The proceeds from the sale of books in conjunction with our author visit will benefit the North Beach Library.
