Okay, some of you might be tired of hearing how wonderful Rogers Elementary School is (here’s the overall description of my visit, and here’s the 2nd-grade music program inspired by Lion of the Sky), and in what cool ways they used my books over the course of a year!

Green Card Voices speaker

Wednesday, June 20, is World Refugee Day, and I wanted to share a poetry-writing activity I did with 3rd-8th graders in case you’re looking for a writing activity with one of your summer programs (or in years to come).

December 19, 2017 By Laura

Her sister is a substitute teacher in New Hampshire, and she used A Leaf Can Be… with first graders. They were studying the number 9, and the […]

No matter what your race, religion, or gender, you matter. You are a human being, just […]

February 23, 2016 By Laura

I’ve been sharing loads of poems by the students of Wealthy Elementary, but today, I want to share some nonfiction. The second grade wanted to write nonfiction books using my Can Be… mentor text project. I would only have two sessions with each class, one 45 minutes long and the other 30 minutes long. So […]
