It’s only two days away! My first author visit to an elementary school in almost three years.
On Thursday I’ll be traveling about 45 minutes from my home to Fair Park Elementary in West Bend, WI. The last two weeks I’ve been busy working on a whole new presentation based on questions the kids and teachers put together for me.
This talk, different than the many I’ve done in the past, is that it is mainly focused around reading and writing.
One of the questions the kids will be asking is “Do you love reading as much as you love writing?”
It’s such a toss up, really! But as you can see from the ottoman in my living room, with dear, sweet Kylie peeking through some of the many books, I love to read. Most nights you will find my nose buried in a book.
I’ve practiced my presentation, like, let’s see, a bazillion times! ha! But the more I practice, the more excited I become. I hope to instill in the kids that reading and writing are so important…and fun!
Some have asked me if Gidget will be going with me. No, she won’t be. I just don’t feel she is a good fit for school visits for various reasons. And that’s okay.
And I won’t really be without a sidekick as this cutie (below) will be with me. And I won’t have to worry that she will poop in school–which was known to happen or time a two with Frankie!– but ah, it was bound to happen and we made it through. Like I came to accept…It’s Only Poop!
