Your presentation fit right in with a story my class had read recently about being a writer. You were entertaining as well as educational. My students would have enjoyed listening to you for the entire morning instead of just 50 minutes." H. Young, 3rd Grade Teacher Prairie Creek Elementary School, Olathe, KS 4/17/2008 "Students were engaged throughout the entire program. The information was grade level appropriate. We were able to easily build upon what was taught during the session. The first graders really loved this, and talked about it all day!" 5/2/2008 L. Rush, First Grade Teacher Bluejacket Flint Elementary, Shawnee, KS   "I was extremely impressed with the program as was my entire staff. The Bronsons had something for everyone. The kids were educated and entertained at the same time." 4/17/2008 K. Katzer, Media Specialist Prairie Creek Elementary Sschool, Olathe, KS   "What a great opportunity this was for all of us. Not only was it entertaining for the kids, it was educational for me too. Very informative- I wouldnt change a thing." 5/2/2008 E. Burger, Paraeducator Bluejacket Flint Elementary, Shawnee, KS   "This was one of the best author visits Ive seen. The information, the interaction of the two authors, the visuals of all the different steps, the game of 'being' the orchestra, the message that authors/illustrators dont just write/draw one time- but go through many drafts. It was all well paced and wonderful. Thank you!" 5/2/2008 R. Nelson, Kindergarten Teacher Bluejacket Flint Elementary, Shawnee, KS   "We liked how they explained the actual process of creating a book step by step from the idea, to what has to be done to get it published, to what has to be accomplished before it ends up on a bookstore shelf. It gave the kids who are aspiring writers an idea of what is involved in publishing a book." 4/18/2008 5th Grade Teachers Spring Hill Intermediate, Spring Hill, KS SCHOOLS VISITED	KIDS' ART:
