Westridge School, Lake Oswego, OR.
I visited Westridge in Lake Oswego today. I think this might be my fourth visit there and it’s always fabulous. And it’s only six miles from the farm…no airports, planes, hotels. I spoke to perhaps the best prepared 5th and 6th grade students I’ve ever talked to. They had all read at least four of my novels. Some of them had read all of the novels. Wow!
They put together a perfect schedule. One big power point program for all the 5th and 6th graders, then we had two, hour long, Q and A sessions.
They had notebooks filled with information and illustration about the novels. They did beautiful wall featuring the novels. I’m sorry I can’t put up all of the walls here.
Thank you for inviting again again. And thank you for the pad thai and the Java Juice!
