Author Visit: George O'Connor!
Our kids are crazed with Greek mythology as well as with graphic novels. Put them together and what do you get? George O'Connor's Olympians series! We were so lucky to have a visit from George in our library with fourth graders who are in the middle of a graphic novel reading and writing unit. We await the release of Hera this summer!

Gail Gibbons Author Study
We have 38 books by author/illustrator Gail Gibbons in our library. We learned what it means to have a distinct style. We watched a video interview of Gail Gibbons and found out that she remembers being a curious kid and always asking questions. Asking good questions is part of being a good scientist and researcher.
