Visiting schools is my favorite part of being an author. I have visited more than a hundred schools and libraries in Missouri, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, and Florida and presented to groups from single classrooms to entire schools.

Let’s Build a Story!

For first and second grade students, we learn about the parts of a story. How do we combine characters, a setting, and a problem to create a story? This interactive presentation uses input from the students (and a little help from our magic bookmarks) to create our own story.

Math Magic!

For third – sixth grade students, I combine magic and student interaction to talk about the “magic” behind math. I’ll show that math is more than numbers. It is all around us, in nature, animals, weather, and even the stars! The students will create math “aha” moments using a simple strip of paper.
