Suzanne Williams The Media Center has been a buzz with Skype visits over the last week. We started with a visit from Suzanne Williams, author of the Goddess Girls and Heroes in Training series. The 1st and 2nd graders have loved her books and eagerly anticipated their visit with her. During the visit they were able to ask her questions about the characters, plot choices, and her life as a writer. They were also super excited to learn that more Heroes in Training and Goddess Girls books were on their way. Now I just have to order more of her books to keep up with the demand. Pen Pals Two classes at Gwin Oaks have Pen Pals. Mrs. Anderson's pen pals are in Boston and Mr. Finley's pen pals are closer to home and also in Lawrenceville. Today both of them had a chance to connect. Mrs. Anderson's class celebrated World Read Aloud Day by listening to Mrs. Broderick and I read our favorite books. I read Tikki Tikki Tembo and she read Exclamation Point. Mr. Finley's class had a trivia review game and asked each other questions about what they had learned. Ms. Anderson's class celebrated World Read Aloud Day with students from Zervas Elementary. Mr. Finley's class finally got a chance to meet the pen pals from McKendree Elementary. They have been writing each other since the beginning of the year.
