On June 23rd at 7:00 pm, my family and I went to see the final installment of the Classic Authors Series at our local library. Marianne Donnelly of Boston, Massachusetts portrayed "Louisa May Alcott. In addition to being best known for her novel, "Little Women", Alcott was also an abolitionist, suffragist, and Civil War nurse.
This program taxied on to our 2008-2009 school year very nicely because my daughter read 5 works by Alcott as part of her participation in the Pizza Hut reading Program.
Ms. Donnelly was very animated and entertaining. The attention span of my 5 and 2 year old only lasted for 30 minutes and then I took them outside to run around. My two oldest stayed for the remainder of the program.
I love the FREE programs at the library. No cost learning in an engaging manner. A homeschoolers jackpot!!!
