On December 9th Famous Matt Tavares Comes To Tiny Bowdoinham School!
Students were amazed to see New Yorks best selling author and illustrator. Matt Tavares comes to Bowdoinham Community School. He believes that it is truly amazing to be a best selling author! Bowdoinhams best teacher Mrs. Marc-Aurele invites Matt Tavares for a special visit. After they had already set a date, it was a coincidence that his newest book Dasher made it on the New York best selling list!
Diana Marc-Aurele went to Nerd Camp and set up our visit with matt tavares. Diana we have to thank. How would we have seen our special visitor if she hadn’t gone to the summer Nerd Camp Program?
The whole school was dressed in Christmas sweaters and santa hats, all for our special visitor. We tried to welcome Matt Tavares the best Bowdoinham could. Matt Tavares makes time for a writing workshop when he visits. Every class in the school gets to work with him at his workshop. Matt Tavareswas coming around to kids at the workshop and telling them about his strategies and helped us come up with something to draw.The workshop was to teach you that when you are sketching it doesn’t matter if you mess up it only matters what it comes out to look like.
Every one had one piece of paper and a pencil, and when you are done you can color it in with colored pencils. Our drawings were displayed in our hallway for everyone to see. Before Matt Tavares came grades ⅘ made posters to welcome him. Team ⅘ also wrote a page about there favorite book to display out in our hallway.
It’s definitely a change that Bowdoinham school get to have such a famous author come to there school.
