Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs: A Day of Smells, Smiles, and
Community!
On one of our recent outreach opportunities, we visited Amelia
Earhart Elementary School Southwest Detroit .
We anticipated only 15-20 students in a resource room but before we could
complete our first round of story telling, we were on a pancake tour serving
about 75 students’ hot cakes as a mid-morning snack.
Cloudy with a Chance
of Meatballs is children’s classic. The story unfolds in the town of Chew
and Swallow; food literally rained down on the towns people. However in a
server change in weather pattern, food because a tormentor and the food feel
hard and heavy, so much so a huge pancake fell on top of the school!
Teachers and students shared in maple syrup euphoria and
flap jack heaven. One of the many high lights of the trip was Sue Sobocienski
making a trip to the market get us more pancake batter for the ravenous fans.
Cameron Davis Jr. our story teller was met with student approval of our story
choice and teachers welcoming Central
