Skyping for Read Aloud Day
What have I been up to lately?
Here's my living room turned into a teaching nook. I'm getting ready for epic Skype sessions - 8 per day. After I took this photo, it reminded me of something.
Does anyone else think this looks similar to the set of The Friendly Giant? Pull up a rocking chair next to the fire. (Needs Rusty and Gerome.) Look up. Waaay up. I loved that show. Life is so funny.
I've been making lots of new friends from all over the States, the UK, Australia and Canada! I'm skyping with 39 classes in the next three weeks to celebrate World Read Aloud Day.
I'm so grateful to meet all these amazing young readers with such smart questions about dogsledding and writing and being an author. I'm hearing lots of stories of pet dogs too.

I'm new to Skype, and now I'm a fan!

I can certainly attest to the the kids enthusiasm while joining you for a Skype session. You did such a wonderful job engaging them and sharing information about a sport that definitely isn't everyday for them down here in Georgia. Thank you again for sharing your time and offering this wonderful opportunity for so many classes.Heather Temske
