Waggoner WAG : Bring on Fancy Nancy!

Robin Preiss Glasser is coming to Waggoner November 18th!

9:10-9:50 TK / K ZOOM

10:00-11:00 1st and 2nd grade ZOOM

I have ordered 16 hardback copies of Escape Goat, plus 60 assorted paperback Fancy Nancy Books and I will draw one name per class who attends for Escape Goat and 20 random names per grade of the Fancy Nancy paperbacks. I will send that info and the zoom link this Friday!

All students will get a Laura Numeroff book when she visits in December.

Robin Preiss Glasser visit details below:

From Robin: Since The 1st group is shorter and they're little, I won't take questions, I'll just show them my slides which have pictures to look at and then read the book Escape Goat to them. If they want to do a project ahead of time, they can show me what they made, and I will ooh and ahh, and everyone can take photos of their screens. One school had all the little ones color on napkins to make kerchiefs and the kids held those up for me to see. Or they can just draw pictures of goats or lambs or their favorite farm animal and hold those up for me to see.

***For 1st and 2nd grades I will make a video of me reading the book to share! -- Jennifer (this will be done by Tuesday)***
From Robin: The 2nd session is longer and they are older. I'd love them to read the book ahead of time (Escape Goat) and be prepared with questions for me about the themes in the book, like telling the truth, and taking responsibility if you make a mistake. Or they can just ask me questions about making books. It's good if they have prepared a question ahead of time and the host (is that you?) can call on them so there is some order to it. ***Please have kids prepare questions - you can choose one from your class to send me and I will call on as many per grade as I have time for--- Jennifer ***
