What happened in October:

Roland Smith Came to Visit! Our 4th through 6th grade students had a chance to meet and talk to bestselling author Roland Smith.  Mr. Smith was entertaining and educational:
"He taught me that I can write about anything" (4th grade student).
"He said that when you write you have to research twice as long before you write so it's easier" (4th grade student)
"He inspired me to write more!" (5th grade student)
"He said that when my teacher corrects my writing it makes me a better writer" (6th grade student)

Michele Barone Came to Visit!
Once again, our 3rd grade students were wowed by Denver author Michele Barone's energy and insight.  She talked to students about the importance of having ideas and writing them down.  "Nothing ever happened, it was boring" was her grandmother's mantra, and yet through asking questions and researching history, Michele wrote a book about her grandmother's experience growing up in rural Colorado.  She also wrote The Capitol Ghost Mystery about our Denver capitol!
