A Visit With An Author-Mr. V!

Mr. VanRaepenbusch came in to talk with students about "small moments" and building on those moments to create stories.  He shared his own personal "small moment" journal with the students, and shared how he brought his ideas full circle into a published book!  What an inspiration as we begin our writing journey!

You can find his website and access to his books at www.ericvr.com  or www.happybirthdayauthor.com

We had a great first week of school! I am looking forward to a wonderful year of learning with these children!
