Author Visit

Today we had author, Michael Finklea, come to our school to talk about the importance of not giving up.  He talked about how he had to write one of his books 5 different times before his publisher would turn it into a book.  He talked about how he wanted to give up, but how he kept working and adding descriptive words to make it better.  Now, his book is a favorite among kids.  He read his book to the students and they all loved it.  Here are a couple of pictures from our author visit.
