Wednesday’s Weekly Window

Full disclosure, Mrs. Morris took this picture as I am out of town yesterday and today. But I am so excited about the opportunity the 5th graders had this week, I had to share it. You are looking at Chris Grabenstein, the author of the novel Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library being interviewed by a student. It is not often that virtually everyone in a grade loves the novel they are required to read. For this one, students struggled not to read ahead! To encourage their excitement Mrs. Bowles reached out to Mr. Grabenstein to ask if TDSA's two 5th grade classes could interview him over zoom. He first presented and the students asked their prepared questions by stepping up to "camera 1" while other students listened to his answers. I am super thrilled we are inspiring future writers!
