Thanks to the staff and students at Matsqui Elementary School in Abbotsford, BC for hosting me for an author visit this week. The students had fabulous questions, and I could just tell that they were excited to try out some of of the writing tips I shared with them.
A special thanks goes to grade 2/3 teacher Rhona Pederson for all the time she spent organizing this week’s author visit. I do hope parents realize just how much teachers do beyond the work day to make their children’s educational experience rich and meaningful.
Lastly, I’d like to congratulate new grandmother and principal Kathy Fladager whose three day old granddaughter popped in for a school visit along with her proud mum and dad…you can never start them too young!
