***NEWSFLASH ***
March 20, 2018 --Spring Fling is over. Here's what one teacher said about it: "I want to say how AMAZING Spring Fling was today! The Zoom meeting was flawless with no interruption of connection. It was easy to join and the sound/video was great! I was able to hear Jan Adkins, Alexandra Siy, Vicki Cobb, Dorothy Patent, Jennifer Swanson, Amy Nathan, Carla McClafferty, and Aline Alexander Newman present on their non-fiction minutes. The students who were able to join were so interested in the the authors and it was neat to hear their questions and watch them interact. My only regret is that I wasn't on the ball enough to have students read the authors' work before meeting them, but it was a success none the less because a connection was made!" Lynn Spady, Loveland Elementary, Omaha, NE. |
