Blogging has been hard this year. My time has really been limited with planning and prepping, it seems. I am very proud that I was able to plan and execute an amazing author visit. Barney Saltzberg was a guest speaker on March 1st. It was a great way to celebrate Read Across America Week.
I have been a fan of Barney's books for a very long time, and I use Beautiful Oops as a staple in the art room. We celebrate mistakes instead of getting upset. I have been working on getting Barney to come to our school since I started here in 2015.
He was an amazing and inspiring speaker. He showed the students how he uses technology to make art, and talked about how he became interested in writing children's books. We loved having him visit our school. I think the students will remember it for the rest of their lives.
