Lion of the Sky Music Program at Rogers Elementary!

March 16, 2020 By Laura

The world is topsy-turvy right now. My schedule has changed, my income-earning events are being canceled, future family and travel plans are up in the air, and more. But my family is healthy, and I’m focusing on that. I’m also continuing to focus on creativity, flexibility, and kindness. In addition to practical measures, these help […]

Author Visit at Rogers Elementary

March 4, 2020 By Laura

I had three awesome school visits in February, and each one was a pleasure. But I’m going to share a few pictures from the last one, which was at Rogers Elementary School in Rogers, Minnesota. Holly Dragisich, the media specialist and school librarian, organized my three-day visit. The unusual thing was that this visit was […]

School Visits in February

February 28, 2018 By Laura

I had 2 fabulous school visits in February and wanted to share a few pictures. If you only click on one photo, do the white poem on green background paper in the first gallery–the student poem “Things to Do if You Are a Valentine’s Card.” I am in love with this poem. Often, the very […]

Writing Poetry with Third Graders

December 11, 2017 By Laura

I had the best time at Pinewood Elementary last month. I got to spend two days there, which means that, in addition to two large-group presentations, I did writing workshops with each third-grade class. Love! The staff was amazing and enthusiastic, and the students were incredible. We had the best time. I’m going to share […]

A Play-It-By-Ear Session with One Clear Message [Slice of Life]

July 11, 2017 By Laura

slice-of-life_individual

I have not checked in in a long time, which I started to see as a failure. But I have been being very clear about my absolute top priority during various months, and blogging has just not been it. It’s been traveling overseas during one month, and having our daughter who lives overseas visit home […]

Literacy Night at Knapp

March 8, 2017 By Laura

Artwork at Knapp Elementary

Last night, I visited Knapp Elementary School in Knapp, Wisconsin, for a literacy celebration. It was easy to see Principal Kristin Humphrey is a reading specialist by training–books are celebrated everywhere in the school! I especially loved these displays of artwork related to my book A ROCK CAN BE… The kids and I read a […]

Poetry Workshops with Third Graders

November 9, 2016 By Laura

Jeanette and Laura at Pinewood

(continued from yesterday’s post) [Addendum: I am so disappointed in election results. I think it’s more important than ever to reach every kid through books and reading and writing, and telling them through each of these activities: you matter. No matter what your race, religion, or gender, you matter. You are a human being, just […]

Poetry Fun with Pinewood Elementary School

November 8, 2016 By Laura

I know it’s election day today, but I’m just going to focus on positive things! I had a fantastic two-day visit with Pinewood Elementary School last week in Monticello, MN. It’s always great to visit with students when the staff has prepped so carefully. They read some of my books, shared poems on the morning […]

Making Room for All Writers [Slice of Life Tuesday]

November 1, 2016 By Laura

slice-of-life_individual

I haven’t been to yoga for almost a year, and Saturday morning, I went to an early practice. The studio was crowded, and people arriving just before the start time were looking discouraged. But those of us already in the room said, “Here…” and scooted our mats to make more room, and everyone fit. We […]
