The following review came from Wellford principal Greg Wood:
“It was a pleasure to have Crystal Ball
O’Connor, Ph.D. and Valerie Bunch Hollinger visit our school and share their
book, Jake and the Migration of the Monarch, with our students, faculty
and staff. Both the assembly
program and the evening session for families focused upon the event that led to
the writing of the book and shared the butterfly migration experience.
Children learned the process of
creating a book from an idea to a finished product.
Science and geography were incorporated into the program as the students
went through the migration process with the characters in the story. The programs were entertaining with music, movement and
student participation.
We look forward to having Dr.
O’Connor and Mrs. Hollinger visit Wellford Elementary School in the future.”
The following review came from Wellford parent Cindy Benton, PTA:
“We have been doing author nights for four
years with our children and this program was by far the best! The author and illustrator were wonderful with the children and kept us
all involved with the program. Great
job!”
