Last week, I had the chance to connect with two classes from Morenci, MI. I was contacted over the summer by English teacher Sally Krueger, who had loved the book and started developing a curriculum around it. We emailed back and forth and decided to arrange a Skype visit. Man, was it ever fun! The kids did nail me with some hard questions, but I think I held up pretty well.

Below the article, there is a smaller article giving the sense of how Sally has used the book in her classroom. I love the idea of teachers using the book in their classrooms and I love connecting with students, so I urge educators to get in touch with me about arranging Skype visits.
