A visit to the Liverpool Elementary School, Liverpool, NY

A visit to the Liverpool Elementary School - otherwise known as; What DOES Mom do when she is away??

I just returned hours ago from a three day trip to Liverpool NY. Since this is April Vacation Week in Massachusetts I took along my daughters Bethany and Kerrin.

When I travel, the girls are always curious as to just what I do... now they know:
I give presentations, I give workshops on how to make books, I sign my own books....

I spent two mornings giving presentations to K-6th grade, and two afternoons giving book making workshops to the third graders.

The entire staff at LE were phenomenal! Many thanks for the breakfast and lunch they provided us Thursday and Friday; and a special thanks go to art teacher Debbie Walsh and librarian Doreen Bergman for coordinating my visit. I won't soon forget you gals... extra thanks for the LE Gaters tee shirts!

In the book making workshops the third graders wrote their own alphabet books and illustrated pages from the book. I scanned in each page while I was at the school and I will print and bind them together for the kids over this weekend.

Windows make terrific lightboxes for tracing!

I thought this photo was funny - from this angle, it looks like the young girl is picking my nose...

LE is in the Village of Liverpool, just outside of Syracuse, NY and on the shore of lovely Onondaga Lake.

This is too cool for school Shennen. Looks like the kids are having fun. And glad that the girls finally get to see what Mom does!
Is that a shooting star in the last photo? Neat.
P.S. I like your necklace too, the chunky one. :~)

That's cool that you got to bring the girls along- I think my girls would LOVE doing that. The schoolkids always seem to get a lot out of your presentations, Shennen!
