It was interesting at the same time very musical again. I guess the theme explains why it's very musical. The theme for this month was "Move to the Rhythm of BOOKS through MUSIC!"
That morning we only had one presentor. She was Maria Borja Dooley, a local author. Her book was titled, "Bonita the Bat". In her presentation, she told her story of the success of her book. She read the very interesting book to all of us. We can really see how successful the book is because of its beautiful story and creative illustrations. The suthor read the story with passion and full of emotions in her voice. She explained that "Bonita the Bat" will fly from school to school in the Marianas.
IRA President Aimee Lizama presented Powerpoint on Reading lessons with music. We read different books with music. The background music was played by a band (Aimee's friends with her husband). Very interesting points were discussed. Members were given the opportunity to make up their own song with music about IRA. A few volunteer presented their song.
Read-A-Thon winners were announced and awarded that morning. The winner that's going to Toronto, Canada is so lucky!

Hi Lainne,
Your forgot to mention that I WON the push cart! It was truly a good meeting. I learned the different ways one can read a book with the help of music. I already did the Chika Boom this morning with my first graders, who were shy and did not know what to make of it. Wait till they hear the story. See you soon
Mary
