OCS grades K-5 enjoyed a visit by NJ author, illustrator Dar Hosta on October 21. During the assembly we learned about creating words and pictures that make a book. We saw pictures of Mrs. Hosta's studio at home where her collage illustrations are carefully constructed. She reminded students how many times her written words were returned to her by the editor to "rewrite and make it better." Students know that their own teachers often return writing to them and tell them to "make it better". Writing is a process for young and old! Mrs. Hosta shared stories about her family including Ruby and Ezra, her peppy pooch pets. She talked about alliteration. What's that? Here's another example from her book I Love the Alphabet. The M page includes many monkeys munching mangos.
Mrs. Hosta challenged all students to share one thing they learned from her with someone at home tonight. Can your child give you an example of alliteration?
We thank the PTO for sponsoring this exciting ond interesting assembly where we all got tips on how to make our writing more interesting.
