Elementary students hear beloved “wimpy kid” author speak
/
To celebrate Read Across America Day, elementary students were invited to participate in a webinar with Jeff Kinney, author of the popular Diary of a Wimpy Kid books. Viewings were held in Ms. Batten's and Ms. Huber's classrooms. Kinney spoke about his beginnings as a cartoonist, how he became an author, and showed his virtual visitors around his studio. Participants were able to submit questions, and although none of our students’ questions were chosen, students had a great time thinking up good ones to ask! All twenty copies of Kinney's books are currently checked out of our library.
Read Across America Day annually takes place on Dr. Seuss’ birthday, March 2. Many classes also read his books aloud to remember and honor his important contribution to children’s literature.
