Author Mentor!

Over the summer, I applied for our school to be a part of the new #KidsNeedMentors program and we were so lucky to be paired with author Hillary Homzie!  With this year-long program, the author and the school will work together to inspire students to be readers and writers. 

Mrs. Andersen, Mrs. Wright, and I have teamed up to bring this amazing experience to our fifth grade students.  We kicked off the program with a virtual author visit this week.  During the visit, Ms. Homzie talked about her past, how she gets her writing ideas, and shared some of her books with us.  Then, students had an opportunity to ask questions.

Overall, it was an amazing experience!  We are looking forward to with Ms. Homzie throughout the school year!

Also this week, some of our students visited our makerspace for the first time this school year!  Our third grade students enjoyed building with Legos, coding with Osmo, storytelling with puppets, and creating with paper crafts.  

Such a fun week!!
