Applesauce and Authors! http://www.cmsaa.org/blog/applesauce-and-authors/ http://www.cmsaa.org/blog/applesauce-and-authors/#comments Mon, 31 Oct 2011 18:24:53 +0000 Tara Schmitt http://www.cmsaa.org/?p=888

Last week the cold weather brought two Fall favorites to our classrooms–fresh applesauce and a good book. Of course a good book is always in season, and many of our elementary students are now curling up with The Secret Zoo series thanks to a visit from author, Bryan Chick.

 

 

The smell of fresh cooked apples filled the halls for two days as first Children’s House and then Lower Elementary students made fresh applesauce.

 

 

 

Author Bryan Chick fascinated students with stories of how his own childhood imagination eventually led him to write The Secret Zoo series.   Mr. Chick inspired students to stay dedicated to the craft of writing and wowed them with the number of drafts he went through to get to the final version of the seven page prelude in the first of his Secret Zoo books – 60!
