Reading, Writing, and that's it!

Wow, the author visit at CRE was so worth the trip to town!! LOL Her name is Stacey Nygio ( I will double check that spelling for us) and she is from Oklahoma. She did a great job connecting reading and writing. Her presentation was fresh and she really held the attention of all the students. I had such a good time. Debbie and I are wondering how to get her to VEMA! Debbie did a great job organizing and making her feel welcome. There was a banner and a special lunch and CRE t-shirts! I had some great memories of when I was in the classroom and Debbie and I teamed up to have Elaine Marie Alphin ( author of Ghost Cadets) come to our school! Well, along with the great library fun, I spend some time with Ed, their computer guru. He was working on TimeLine with some second graders. I got to see some terrific social studies work and they were 7 and 8 years old! Ed is really terrific, a real kid magnet. Thanks Ed for all your help with my GK! I also read about Jerry Palotta's visit to another LMS friend of mine. How can you not love, love, love libraries and librarians??? Technology talk tomorrow!
