My middle school students are getting a dream team of visiting authors this month.
This Wednesday, Linda Urban (lurban) will spend the day with us, talking about A CROOKED KIND OF PERFECT and her writing life.
And on March 31, Loree Griffin Burns (lgburns) will visit to talk trash -- TRACKING TRASH -- with our middle school kids.
Are you jealous yet?
Meanwhile, HUGE congratulations are in order for both Linda and Loree today! Both of their books have been selected as finalists for Vermont's Dorothy Canfield Fisher Award. Kids in Vermont will read as many books from the list as possible, and then they'll vote to choose the winner next spring. For the full list of 2008-2009 DCF titles, visit the blog of Steve Madden, librarian extraordinaire at Camels Hump Middle School. It's a fantastic, fantastic list -- one that will make you want to be a Vermont student, too.

Alright, I'm gone Thursday and Friday tending to some fairly important business. Something about floating around in the lake. I'm not quite sure yet. Either way, there won't be access to the glorious interweb so I'm posting these boogers now. A couple of quick Adirondack studies for larger drawings.
Workin hard or hardly workin?
