On Thursday, May 14, Forest Oaks Elementary School students participated in an interactive reading of the book Bringing the Rain to Kapiti Plain by Verna Aardema.  The primary grade students, along with faculty and staff members, dressed as black clouds, cows, and brown grass to bring the story to life.   As the principal, Dr. Resia Brooks, read the story, the students and faculty members each had a special role to play. The children enjoyed participating in a shared, interactive storybook reading of the African folktale which incorporated languages arts, science, and social studies curriculum.
