school visits ever. Last week, I ended my school visit season with a bang by
visiting grades K-3 at Swift River School in New Salem, MA and grades 3-5 at
Birch Hill School in Nashua, NH.
The teachers and librarians at both schools had done
a great job preparing the students, and that makes a huge difference.
Following my visit, the kindergarteners at Swift River School created this awesome
card for me.
Here’s the front.
And here’s the inside. I love the froggie, which matches the theme of my
presentation.
The last program of the year was with two grade 5
classes at Birch Hill School, and I swear, it was like talking to a group of
engaged, thoughtful colleagues. We had a great discussion that ranged from plagiarism,
to the pros and cons of doing research on the Internet, to the joys and
frustrations of revision. Those kids were amazing!
