Exploring the Joy of Nonfiction Reading and Writing

Friday Fun: Teachers and Librarians Are Soooo Clever!

We all know how
overburdened teachers and school librarians (teacher-librarians) are these
days, and yet, they somehow manage to find the time to share my books in ways
that really make a difference. I’m constantly amazed. Here are two great
examples:

Harriet LaPointe,
teacher-librarian extraordinaire of Colt Andrews School in Bristol, RI, created
this awesome poster to publicize my school visit with her students. Wow!

Sue Heitner, a
fabulous first-grade teacher in Austin, TX, worked with her students to create
this lovely problem/solution chart for A
Place for Bats while doing a unit on bats. I was so excited to talk to the
students via Skype and answer all their questions about bats and the process of
writing A Place for Bats.

 
The team at King Open School in Cambridge, MA, must have spent hours putting together this bulletin board right outside the library.


I really appreciate all the time and energy that went into prepping kids for my visits. It makes a huge difference when the kids are familiar with my work before I walk through the door!

  1. Great examples of ways we can get kids excited about books. I especially like the top poster – but maybe that's because of coffin flies and ants.
