Thank you Prairie Grove Elementary First Graders & Ms Webb

As my character Prancing, Dancing Lily would say, "Cowabunga!"  I had a fabulous 15 minutes with the first graders at Prairie Grove Elementary this morning.  They have been writing their own stories.  We talked about the importance of being a good Story Magician and other writerly matters.

Even though I couldn't see you in real time, first graders, I enjoyed seeing your bright, shining faces.  I can tell you are a moovelous class.  Oh, I mean marvelous.  :-)

Skype, skype, I love to skype

One of the benefits of the technological revolution is being able to chat with people all over the globe without traveling there.  Every month this school year I've visited kids and teachers through Skype.  I have more visits coming up in May and July, one in Mexico.  Here's a photo of some of the fabulous first graders I skyped with in Easton, Pennsylvania.  Thank you fabulous first graders and Ms Cianfaglione for a wonderful visit.

"It was truly a great experience for the kids!"  First grader teacher, Jennifer Cianfaglione
