Many of you know that I am a humble elementary school teacher. Well, today we had a wonderful experience. The children's author, Patricia Polocco, came to our school and gave three riveting speaches intertwined with wonderful stories.
If any of your kids are LD, Special Education, Nerds, Geeks, overweight, or otherwise bullied you'd might want to look at some of her books. www.patriciapolocco.com
Some interesting facts:
Among her geek friends that overcame the bullying he received because of his unusual voice is none other than Frank Oz.
She babysat for a desparately poor family that lived in a rusty old boat on an estuary near Oakland...one Tom Hanks was her charge.
She talked about the three of them returning to their high school to face the "bullies." Guess what? Everyone wanted to be their friend. Irony or something less?
A little elementary? That is my life...elementary.
