AUTHOR VISIT

On Tuesday, the kids were treated to an assembly that was arranged by the LMC and PTA with children's author Andrea Beaty. Andrea lives in Naperville and shared two of the stories she has written, Iggy Peck Architect and Rosie Revere Engineer.  You can find out more about Andrea Beaty on her website.

This assembly just so happened to align perfectly with our Personal Narrative unit.  Andrea Beaty discussed with the kids that when creating a story, the author must always think of a problem that her character will have.  The character will then have to think of a solution to the problem before solving it. We are working on these exact steps in the classroom as the kids write their own Personal Narrative.  After the assembly the kids completed a reflection page about what they learned and enjoyed during our assembly.  It was a lot of fun!
