I just had the most amazing time visiting schools! I say that after every visit!
I share a science magic show with large groups. We have a blast! I challenge everyone to think and vote on possible outcomes for each activity. Next comes that tension-building AWESOME moment when I count 1...2...3. And just as everyone practiced the crowd hums AHHHHHHH! as science makes magic!
Oh, and the BIG crowd pleaser of every show is when the aliens visit.
Of course, I share my amazing research adventures that are behind-my-book stories. Being inside NASA's space program, camping out with penguins in Antarctica, touring a chocolate factory, up-close-with an elephant named Baby Mike, a weta, a sloth, a boa constrictor named Rosie...and so much, much, much more.
I love the read aloud times with small groups. And there are those special times when I just visit classrooms. Then I share one of my books and listen to young writers reading their own stories.
I also love time for small group visits with older students sharing my writing and book creating process.
Of course, we take time for those memory moments...group photos, books to award-winning young authors, STEM team heading off to competition.
It all comes down to...........................................
IN-PERSON VISITS MEAN FOREVER AFTER
READING ONE OF MY BOOKS IS
VISITING ME AGAIN!
