I had a lot of fun and heard a lot of giggles today - both with the K-4th graders and also with the 5th-8th graders. My cartoon voices got quite a lot of laughs and were also the basis of many excellent questions today. I love curious children!I also love it when I can present both of my very different programs (Elementary and Middle School) to one school. It is nice to have the opportunity to talk to the older kids about the writing process and share with them the challenges of self publishing and what inspires me to write.
I am happy to report that we had several students with excellent geography knowledge today as well as many that had visited Costa Rica themselves and had seen volcanoes. The students at Good Shepherd obviously have dedicated teachers and a strong curriculum. Speaking of the teachers, I ralized that this group really enjoyed themselves today and had some good laughs too.
Best question asked of me today by an 8th grader: “Can you make up a new cartoon voice right now for us?”
Answer, “Not really. Wow. I would need to work on that alone (in front of a mirror) and then get back to you!”
I thank Mrs. Millie Callejas for inviting me, Librarian, Mrs. Bonnie Beregszaszi for her kind words today about the book and all the teachers for listening and loaning me their kids. Pictures 1-2 are with the elementary school and Pictures 3-4 are with the 5th-8th graders.
