SCHOOL VISITS: K-6 (strength 3-5)
During a school visit, I usually do two assemblies. One is for grades 1-2, where I focus on "My Weird School". The other one is for grade 3 and up, where I talk about my baseball card adventure series. I also do a slide show for everybody ("A Day In the Life of an Author"), have lunch with a small group of kids, and sign lots of books. And sometimes, if there's time, I do a small group writing workshop in which the kids and I write a book together in thirty minutes. Fun!

2012 JENKINTOWN SCHOOL, Jenkintown, Pennsylvania, USA
I had a lovely day at Jenkintown School on Friday. The kids actually raised an additional $274 over and above my fee to donate to The Humane Society of the United States.

You can also read an article about Dan's A4ED event. And don't miss Dan's special Earth Day blog series.
That's me with the librarian Jill Dorfman. The kids voted for Greenpeace, and I will donate my fee to them. All in all, it was a great day. The kids were into it. They did a lot of research into all the environmental organizations I had suggested, and Mrs. Dorfman and the teachers did a great job in helping the kids to understand the importance and urgency of protecting the environment.
