Author Visits Third Grade!

Submitted by trisha.olsen on

Author Tess Hilmo, from Highland, Utah visited Mrs. McEntire’s and Miss Berger’s third grade classroom.  She wrote the book, With a Name Like Love.  She taught the students about character development, using real life experiences, and explained how the editing process works and explained how she does research for her books.  The students were inspired by her examples and her dedication to teaching students.  Their class highly recommends this book to any student/teacher who enjoys a good mystery. They loved her vivid use of imagery, and enjoyed the many different characters in the book!  She has another book that will be published next spring and she is going to Chicago to research history relating to the Chicago Fire.  We were honored to have her visit us!
