YOUNG AUTHOR'S DAY
May 31, 2019
WHAT IS YOUNG AUTHORS DAY?
Each spring, every child at Eastgate writes and illustrates their own book. On Young Authors Day each student is sorted into grade-level groups and will participate in three activities:
* Sharing the book that they have written with their group
* Listening to the guest author presentation in the Library
* Watching 5th graders perform a Reader's Theater
Also, there is an all school barbecue lunch. It’s a very fun day!
This year the Eastgate PTA is hosting children’s author Sundee Frazier, author of Cleo Edison Oliver books and Brenden Buckley books. We are so excited to have her join us in this annual event!
