March is Reading Month!

Thank You Wealthy PTO!

This month we welcomed author, Denise Brennan-Nelson to our school.  
She told us how she thinks of ideas for stories, 
 where she writes them down
 and how she uses friends to help her make her writing 
even better.  
Wow!  
That sounds just like what we're doing in writing workshop!

Here are a few photos of her visit😊


She showed us her first book, Buzzy the Bee


It took several tries to get Buzzy's expression to look just right.  
She emphasized the importance of making sure the words and pictures matched.


She asked us about our ideas for a sequel to her popular book, Tallulah.
We're excited to see if she uses any of our ideas
 for this little mermaid.



What a fun way to begin our day!  
Thank you Wealthy PTO, for bringing a real author to our school!
