Video conversation with California 1st graders

Last week I really had a lot of fun doing a videoconference for the California Young Reader Medal as part of their meet the author series. I sat in a room alone … staring at a blank screen… ‘way sad’. But then several classrooms of children appeared from all over California. We discussed Velma. The 1st and 2nd graders asked all sorts of great questions. And then we came up with ideas for new Velma’s. It was great fun!
