SUMMARY:I Hear a Búho with Raquel MacKay
DESCRIPTION:I Hear a Búho is a rhyming story with text in English and Spanish\, which encompasses language\, the parent-child bond\, nature\, and the benefit of being still\, and listening. \nA mother and daughter are snuggling together on their porch\, listening to the sounds of the night. A girl makes animal calls and her mother responds sweetly. To their surprise a real owl appears and flies across the night sky. \n\n\n\n\n\nRaquel MacKay resides in Iowa City\, Iowa with her husband\, two young sons\, and big white dog. During the day\, she teaches English language learners from many cultural backgrounds. She also teaches Spanish at a little school that she started for young kids in her community (La Escuelita). In her free time\, she enjoys dancing\, going on outdoor adventures with her family\, working on projects\, reading\, and so much more. There is always something to see\, learn\, or do. And there’s always a story to tell.

SUMMARY:Workshop – Today We Celebrate (Or Not!)

Whether you’re new to writing or have been doing it forever\, you’re welcome to come celebrate creativity with us! \nThere will be light snacks (cookies!) \nFREE\, 6-8th graders are welcome to sign up! \nLoading… \n  \n\nINSTRUCTORS\nBorn and raised in Michigan\, Lisa K.
