Great Week in Habersham CountyI had a terrific 4 days in scenic Habersham County last week.  I gave presentations to both Sixth Grade Academies.  I don’t usually talk to sixth graders so late in the year, (because they SCARE me!!) but this went great.  The students were very polite, attentive, AND receptive!  Nancy Simmons and Dianne Parrish are super librarians, and it’s obvious they love their jobs, and know the importance of READING and WRITING!! They couldn’t say enough about how my Poetry Party! presentation, which covers all different types of figurative speech, was perfect for the upcoming writing assessment test.    Wooo-hooo! Helen O’Brien and Karen Hinson at Level Grove went all out last Wednesday. I knew it was going to be a great day when I saw the bulletin board right outside the library. Karen had the the bulletin board decorated in a movie premier theme and I was the star attraction! It was soooo cool! A also had the privilege of having lunch with the Georgia Young Author winners from Level Grove. What great writers! I even read their stories, so creative! Lots of talent up there in Habersham!   Glad I had the chance to be a part of it!
