Just got home from celebrating National Punctuation Day 2017 with the second grade at Haycock Elementary School. What a great bunch of students--we had a blast!
I LOVE to do author visits. I just spoke at the first ever Montgomery County Lit Camp. And I will be at the National Archives on July 8, with a host of other great authors. Stop by and say, 'Hi".
I recently visited several Fairfax County elementary schools, including Belvedere, Timberlane, and, for the 5th year straight, Floris Elementary where each year the students were even brighter and engaged than ever. This time, we even had ties in the second round of the punctuation bee! And check out the lovely book display I found when I went to Westbriar. I've also been to schools in New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Florida and all over Virginia, including Williamsburg and Richmond.
Many of my programs (see below) fit well with STEM, SOLs and Common Core, but I can tailor any program to meet your needs. My fee for an author visit is $1000, which includes three programs of your choice and an optional Lunch with the Author. Contact me at moirawrite@gmail. to set up a visit. Skype visits can also be arranged--fees negotiable. And if you can't afford a visit, at least check out my resource page--it's free!
