This is so true!

All I'll say is that this is so true!

This One is Hit Out of the Park!

This is the kind of review that performers dream about getting. Theresa Clark hit this one out of the park for me. Thank you, Theresa...


“You bought the poetry to life. You combined your experiences in each poem that you shared with the boys and girls.

“I enjoyed your delivery. You have such excitement and energy when sharing.

“I enjoyed the presentation. You involved the boys and girls which allowed them to be active listeners throughout the assembly.”—Theresa Clark, 3^rd grade teacher, Elizabeth Cady Stanton Elementary School

Several weeks ago I visited the Elizabeth Cady Stanton Elementary School in Seneca Falls. Guess what day it was? Right, Silly Hat Day! Later some of the teachers sent me reviews of the "Silly Sottile Poetry Show."


Here are the reviews:

“You [Joe] have a very nice rapport with the children. My fourth graders really enjoyed your stories and poems.” Fourth grade teacher, Michele Marconi, Elizabeth Cady Stanton Elementary School

“Mr. Sottile was very well prepared, considerate and understanding to the age level [of the students at the assembly].” Michael Pucino, teacher, Elizabeth Cady Stanton Elementary School

“I liked the interactive parts of the program where students were responsive when poems were read. It kept them engaged.” Miss Kate Smithler, Elizabeth Cady Stanton 

4 New Book Reviews for WAITING TO SEE THE PRINCIPAL AND OTHER POEMS!

Here are four new book reviews that were written last month after I visited the Elizabeth Cady Stanton Elementary School in Seneca Falls.


“A great book! Fun and engaging poetry for children.” Fourth grade teacher,  Michele Marconi, Elizabeth Cady Stanton Elementary School

“This book [Waiting to See the Principal and Other Poems] really hits the hearts of the young and the ‘young hearted.’” Michael Pucino, teacher, Elizabeth Cady Stanton Elementary School


“I love the poems in the book. Very kid-friendly.” Melissa Caswell, teacher, Elizabeth Cady Stanton Elementary School


“The poems were very kid-friendly, and the addition of the illustrations only adds to the poems. I like how many of the poems adds multiple perspectives in a very accurate way!” Kate Smithler, Elizabeth Cady Stanton Elementary School

Yes, Wear a Silly Hat!

I love this photo. At least one young lady knows that her photo is being taken, while wearing her silly hat and a smile. Some schools outlaw hats. They are considered it a distraction to education. Rather sad, eh? I've been in such schools. I always like schools that allow all kinds of hats better?

Honorable Mention: Rochester Auditorium Theatre

Honorable Mention

The Theater

by Rebecca, age 12

Penfield

The Auditorium Theater is the place to go
When you want to see an amazing show

When I was little I saw “Blue’s Clues” and “Bear”
Then I saw “Wicked” and “Lion King” there

My friends were a part of the “Wizard of Oz” cast
All who watched surely had a blast

“Lion King” was really great
I hope to see it again at a later date

“Wicked” is my favorite, I saw it three times
Sorry, I can’t think of any other good rhymes

My mom helps us get tickets really cheap
She makes sure we don’t go to shows sure to put us asleep

Next year we’ll see “Shrek” or “Billy Elliot”, either one would be great
Which one will we watch? I’ll just have to wait

On the third floor is MJT Stages, a small theatric endeavor
However, it’s a great place to see shows whenever

I’ve been to camp there for many years
It’s helped me overcome my acting fears

So that is the one of the greatest places around
You should head over there if you’re ever in town

Joe’s Commentary: The Auditorium Theatre certainly is a special place to visit. Rebecca has written a very convincing poem with perfect end rhymes. It makes me want to head to the Auditorium Theatre to have some thrilling experiences. Rebecca, thanks for sharing your poem with readers. Keep on writing poetry. This is a very good poem. Congratulations, Rebecca!
