Mr. George Reading "There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed a Bat" to Mrs. Nordby's Kindergarten Class

For the last several weeks during Library time, 1st-4th graders have been listening to Saving Fiona, The Story of the World's Most Famous Baby Hippo, by Thane Maynard, Director of the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden.  Fiona was born prematurely in 2017, and the story chronicles her first several months of life with her human caregivers at the Zoo.  She has become a huge media sensation due to many social media postings by the Zoo.  One video link resource is found here:

3rd & 4th Grade Classes are reading "Emmanuel's Dream, The True Story of Emmanuel Ofosu Yeboah", a biography of a disabled Ghanaian boy, born with only one leg.  In 2001 he rode nearly 400 miles across Ghana to raise awareness for disabled causes and to spread his message of hope.

He also starred in a documentary about his life called Emmanuel's Gift.  The link to the movie trailer is as follows: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=02EzBTlCKuM
