For Teachers Bring Writing To Life In Your Classroom!Everyone enjoys a break from the routine. Help your students discover the joy of reading and writing. Encourage them to exercise their imaginations. Give them the tools to share their own stories. Introduce them to a Children's Author!  Enjoy A Classroom Visit!I am available for book signings, book fairs, classroom visits and writing workshops. I love getting the opportunity to share my passion for writing with kids. I am happy to tailor my presentations to specific areas teachers wish to address so that students get the most from classroom visits. Although my current books are best suited for PreK through 3rd Grade, I can easily adapt writing activities for older students.  Interested In A Visit?Please e-mail me for information about classroom presentations, workshops, scheduling, and fees. Using My Books In Your ClassroomPunxsutawney Phyllis is ideal for learning about Groundhog Day. You can use the story as a starting point for a lesson about this winter holiday. Details about Groundhog Day and Punxsutawney Phil are appended for your teaching convenience, so it is easy to expand your lesson. Phyllis is also a story about believing in yourself. Use the story as the starting point for a discussion about what your students believe they can do, or for a writing exercise on the same idea.  Students at Beekman Elementary School wallpapered their library with pictures of Phyllis and Uncle Phil! The House That Mack Built explains, in simple terms, how to build a house. Use the story as a springboard for the children to make up their own "how-to" stories. Mack is also a rhyme, so it can be used to explore the idea of creating simple couplets that rhyme and also make sense. Mack can also be used to demonstrate the importance of order in a story - you must dig the hole in the ground before you pour the foundation. Use it as the starting point for a sequencing exercise. Classroom-Ready Activities Schools I visit receive an Author Kit which includes a number of classroom-ready activities. If you are interested in using these activities without a visit, please email me to inquire about receiving them. |
