Author Visit!

On Thursday we had a visit from a real author!  Her name was Ellen Sklaver and she has written a book called "Aleph Finds Her Voice."  She also plans on writing many other books, each one about a different Hebrew letter.  In addition to sharing her book with us, Ellen talked to us about what it is like being an author!  The students also asked some really great questions about how she gets her ideas, how the author/illustrator partnership works, and the process of publishing a book!  The kids really enjoyed getting to meet a published author and saw many connections between Ellen's work and what we do in Writing Workshop!  Ask your student to tell you about our visit from author, Ellen Sklaver!
