Author Visits

So far this year we've had two amazing authors visit our school.  On November 15th, Phil Bildner came to Union Hill to do a writer's workshop with our 4th graders.  He was so much fun to listen to.  Of course we learned a lot from him as well!

Phil signed all of our books!  Here he is with Vianey, a 4th grader.

We were also lucky to have Steve Swinburne visit our school on Monday, December 16th.  He told us about some of his adventures doing research of various animals like the American black bear.  Students got to listen to sound clips of when Steve went in to a bear cave and held 2 7 week old cubs.  We learned about how important it is to recycle, especially plastic bags.  

Steve presented to 2nd-5th graders in the cafeteria.

Later he presented to Kinder & 1st in the library.
