Fans of the Magic School Bus stories from Scholastic Books got a rare opportunity of fun and learning when Ms. Frizzle, science teacher extraordinare, brought her intrepid teaching mobile to Matthew Paterson Elementary School and the Patterson Library earlier this month.
Known by children worldwide through books, videos and television, the Magic School Bus equipped with science activities visited the kindergarten to fourth-grade school in Putnam County. Hundreds of children had the chance to climb aboard and see many the displays and exhibits on topics from outer space to the human body. Magic School Bus science teacher Ms. Frizzle (trademarked), also part of the popular series, greeted the children and took them on a special bus tour.
Following the school visit in the morning, the bus went to the Patterson Library in the afternoon where excited children and parents had their chance to tour the bus and meet Ms. Frizzle, who signed autographs and took photos with her many fans. Some school students reportedly came to the library in the afternoon for a second bus visit and to show their parents and siblings.
This tour of the Scholastic’s Magic School Bus was courtesy of the Patterson Library.
“It was a big thing and an event that took a lot of planning. It was a nice day even though it rained in the afternoon,” reported Lillie Muscente, adult programs librarian.
