📖 Exciting Author Visit at Harlan Elementary! 🐉
Recently, our 3rd and 4th graders had an unforgettable experience—they participated in a live video call with Lauren Tarshis, the amazing author of the I Survived series! 📚✨
During the call, Mrs. Tarshis shared her journey of becoming a writer, offering students a behind-the-scenes look at how she creates her thrilling stories. 🖊️ She also took time to answer questions from our curious students, sparking their imaginations and encouraging a love of reading and writing. It was such a special opportunity for our students to connect with a beloved author and learn what it takes to bring stories to life.📖🐉
