MINNESOTA REVIEWS

"Your presentation to our second grade students was beautifully done! You pitched it at their level, kept it moving, and shared information that was relevant to them as authors. You engaged students who normally have trouble focusing. Your love of writing and illustrating was apparent!" (2/2/05)
 -Anne Towner, 2nd Grade Team Leader, Northview Elementary, Eagan, MN

"The presentation and curriculum for me to cover prior to the visit was very organized and age-appropriate. The theme 'Read-Research-Rewrite' has been a useful literacy theme for 'I Love to Read' month. The process of reading and writing and its interdependency was learned by all the K-5 students. Thank you!" (2/2/05)
 -Gail Harris, Media Specialist, Highland Elementary, Apple Valley, MN

 -Mrs. Walter, ELL Teacher

 -Erin Olson, Teacher
 1st Grade
 Elm Creek Elementary
 Maple Grove, MN
"Your presentations were wonderful! I've had many positive comments from teachers and students. You did a great job of adapting your presentations to the different grade levels. I loved your large prints of the illustrations and all of the background info on illustrating and book publishing." (2/3/05)
 -Susan Olson, Media Specialist
 Elm Creek Elementary
 Maple Grove, MN
"The presentation was very child friendly and tied in with our writing curriculum. We have been talking about how when a writer 'thinks they're done, they've just begun.' Your presentation affirmed that." (2/2/05)
 -Teresa Douglas, Teacher
 1st Grade
 Northview Elementary
 Eagan, MN

"I have used/repeated your words from the presentation:
 *re-read, rewrite many times
 *use photos/books to help illustrate
 *read books to help with your writing.
Keep the books coming! I love that they have an underlying lesson." (2/2/05)
 -Karen Benson, 2nd Grade Teacher, Highland Elementary, Apple Valley, MN
"I thought your presentation was greatboth times! I liked how you started out with Tiny Snail and then gave the kids a chance to move with Kaleidonotes and ended with Polliwog. I also loved how you let the kids know you sometimes need to revise and re-write! Excellent job." (2/2/05)
