Marty Kelly!

Wasn't Marty Kelly's presentation wonderful? I really learned a lot about what it means to be an author and illustrator! My favorite part was when he showed the rough drafts of his writing. He sure is a messy writer at first - but remember, he was just getting ideas down, then revising and revising to get his writing just the way he wants it. What was your favorite part of his show?

Here are the Marty Kelly books we have in our Library Media Center:
Spring Goes Squish!
Summer Stinks
Fall Is Not Easy
The Messiest Desk
Twelve Terrible Things
The Rules

Marty Kelly has a website, here. Check it out! If you want to see his Summer Stinks! video again, it's in the music section!

Thank you, NHCS PTO, for bringing Marty Kelly to our school!

A Special Visit

Last Friday, NH author Mary Lyn Ray visited classrooms and listened to students read their writing. She answered some questions that had been raised when we read this book, All Aboard, in ICT classes - and she also autographed the book for us! Thanks, Mary Lyn Ray!
