On Thursday, Dec. 8, TAM author. Deborra Richardson. was one of the featured presenters at the Barnes &Noble Book Fair to benefit Russell Byers Charter School.
Wow what an event! First she had the opportunity to watch the 6th graders perform ballroom dancing -- the Waltz, the Tango and the Swing. The audience had as much fun watching as the students did dancing. And then she talked with the 4th grade students about Treasures at the Museum. Many of the students had read the story. They talked about Robbie and Brittany. Some mentioned their favorite story part. Others mentioned their favorite "treasure." Jordan talked about her rock collection, Josie spoke of her Harry Potter collection, and Nasir proudly noted his basket ball cards. Then Tyler told us about his favorite treasure, a French Fry! Needless to say, the students had a class chuckle after hearing that. Some of the students also mentioned trips that they had to museums, including the Smithsonian Institution. Russell Byers Charter School 4th graders Rock!
