Carmen Agra Deedy Leads Storytelling Workshops for Second-Grade Students

The second-grade class was delighted to welcome Carmen Agra Deedy, celebrated children's author, back to The 805 this week! A longtime friend of HIES and mother of Lauren Deedy '04, Ms. Deedy's visits are always full of vibrant storytelling and creative insight that enhances the reading experience for our younger students. On Tuesday, Jan. 14, Ms. Deedy led a workshop in each second-grade classroom where students practiced predicting outcomes of stories, enjoying Ms. Deedy's hilarious storytelling skills along the way. As the students continue their unit on fairy tales and folklore, they're excited to put their new skills to practice as they imagine and rewrite new endings for familiar tales.
