Author visit

The author Kevin O’Malley visited Timber Lane on April 10^th.  He presented during two different assemblies.  Mr. O’Malley told stories through drawing.  He also asked the students questions to help drive the story.  This taught the students that they have full control of their own creativity when it comes to their writing.  During each assembly Mr. O’Malley led the students through a full story that they all created together through the use of drawings and creativity.  The students absolutely enjoyed the assemblies and were fully engaged through the forty five minute segments.
