Oyster Bay-East Norwich

Theodore Roosevelt School was excited to welcome author Maria Wen Adcock for a special visit with students in Pre-Kindergarten through Grade 2. Ms. Adcock read “Curious George and the Chinese New Year” and engaged students in a lively and interactive discussion about the traditions and celebrations of the Chinese New Year.

Through storytelling, conversation and age-appropriate activities, students learned about cultural customs, symbols, and the importance of celebrating traditions from around the world. The visit encouraged curiosity, cultural awareness and a love of reading, while providing students with a meaningful connection between literature and real-world experiences.

This engaging author visit was a memorable experience for our youngest learners and a wonderful opportunity to celebrate literacy and diversity together.
