Billerica, MA. Once again, I was blown away by how much fun the students were
having with nonfiction writing.

For
one fourth grade project, students read my book Dolphins and used the book’s text features as inspiration for
creating their own text feature posters with information about an animal of their

Seeing
students working hard and having fun under the guidance of skilled and caring
teachers is one of the things I love most about visiting schools.
