One visit I had started with me reading a chapter and ended up with kids asking tons of questions and stories about snakes. EEK! Teacher to the rescue! I like your idea of engaging the kids first with video games.

I bring a camel puppet, which they just love, and other props. I start by asking who has ever ridden a camel? It always surprises me that a number of kids have. Your tips are dead on. I would add, be prepared for odd questions like, "How old are you?"Darlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04252671846285594734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8727076664654425648.post-26311297632429856082014-04-16T13:05:13.769-07:002014-04-16T13:05:13.769-07:00I think I should be sharing royalties with my hair...I think I should be sharing royalties with my hairdresser!

They are bright, insightful, inquisitive and eager to have an author visit their class. The teachers had read the book to the students in class and the ultimate reward came when I heard that the kids were playing “Lucas Lightfoot” on the playground. <br />Hugo Haselhuhn <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8727076664654425648.post-7229226752586119332014-04-15T14:52:13.220-07:002014-04-15T14:52:13.220-07:00I think I just practice enough that I grew confida...I think I just practice enough that I grew confidant.
