Mrs Brooks - what a great teacher. I always enjoy barging in on her classroom with keyboard in hand. This year was no exception. These kids came ready to sing! Ladies and Gentlemen -presenting the second graders from Charlton Heights Elementary School!
This class thought I was crazy. I asked Mrs. Nugent's class at Saddlewood Elementary in Colonie if if they thought they could create and record an anti-bullying song in an hour or less. I got varied responses at first. But like every class I've ever worked with, they succeeded, and it was AWESOME
I'm proud to say that this year, the Readin', Writin' and Rhymin' program has partnered with the Academy for Character Education at Russell Sage College, Rensselear County Executive Kathy Jimino's office, and Mayor John McDonald of Cohoes to take a strong stand against a growing trend in America-BULLYING.
The Reading, Writing and Rhyming Tour continues to be the highlight of my week here at the station. It's such a rewarding experience getting out there to work with kids from all over the area. This visit was no exception!
Woestina Elementary School in Rotterdam, NY is in a tough spot. Looks like they might possibly close the school and consolidate. Unfortunately, it's becoming the way of the world!
