My elementary school and book signing at Barnes & Noble CT…

This week I visited the elementary school I attended as a child.  I spoke with 200 students (the 4th and 5th grade) and met the principal, librarian, and some incredibly cool, fun, curious, and enthusiastic teachers…when I arrived they had made a welcome sign and we took pictures by the school mascot, Duff the dragon…the same dragon I helped paper mache in art class over 2o years ago!  I loved this charming, sweet school where we wrote in journals every morning, played on the giant green field behind the school, and were exposed to art, singing,and  the poetry of Henry David Thoreau.  I made life-long friends at Duffy, many of whom I’ve known since first grade and still keep in touch with today.  Two of my favorite teaches of all time, Mrs. Burns and Mr. Anderson taught at Duffy…Mrs. Burns read our journals every morning and wrote comments.  She always signed the journal BBBB– Big Bad Betty Burns….she is in her 80s and came to the book signing later that week.   Mr.Anderson taught 4th grade and made each and every student feel deeply respected.

    why waste your intelligence on just posting videos to your site when you could
    be giving us something informative to read?
