Another Hampden Meadows Shout-Out

I've visited Hampden Meadows Elementary School in Barrington, Rhode Island, for many years.

They are without a doubt one of the BEST schools for an author to visit.

The kids are so well prepared.

They've read almost all of my books.

They've made fantastic art projects and posters about the books.

They decorate the hallway.

And best of all, they are as excited to meet me as I am to meet them.

You can see some of my past visits HERE.

But now I've moved down to North Carolina - too far to visit.

So we did the next best thing, thanks to teacher Mrs. Mitchell and media specialist Melanie Roy.

We Skyped.

 

And once again, I was absolutely blown away by the time and effort the kids put into my books.

Check out these great projects.

 

 

 And one student made an amazing stop motion video that I will post when it's available on YouTube.

Thank you, Hampden Meadows!!!

Great Day at Harbins Elementary School

I had a great day at Harbins Elementary School 

in Dacula, Georgia.

They chose THE FANTASTIC SECRET OF OWEN JESTER

for their One School-One Book program.

I was greeted by a super sign.

The students had made some terrific frogs like Tooley Graham in the book.

I got some chocolate frogs!

More frogs and even a letter!

Here I am talking to the K-2 students over their closed circuit TV.

Amazing media specialist, Kathy Schmidt, showing me their Water Wonder 4000.

I signed a lot of books.

Thanks for a great day, Harbins!
