Today our Guest Reader, Mr.Curtis Brown, Jr. came in and the class LOVED his stories. They enjoyed hearing all about Camden and his adventures in I Lost My Laugh and Welcome to Laugh World. They also really enjoyed asking and answering all Mr,Curtis' questions. I loved that he told them everything takes time and when you practice you get better and better! He said writing his stories can happen in minutes, but illustrations can take months! He also noted that his illustrations in book 2 were better than book 1. That hit home with the students who get disappointed when they mess up and have to start over. Now they know it's okay and they're just like Mr,Curtis! :)
During the visit Mr.Curts gave the students some sad news...he said that he wasn't ready to share the 3rd book in her series... oh were they bummed! Well, he promised to stop by some point next year and read them the book. If you're like me and you can't wait! You will need to check out his
website or
Facebook page so you can get one right when they come out! :)
Enjoy the pictures!!
