I was absent and missed the first day of presentations, but I did hear that the groups did a fantastic job. I was told that there was a skit acted out with masks and all, and my fellow group members were a little scared after seeing this presentation. That means they did a great job!
For my author profile this week, I am focusing on Marcia Thornton Jones. She is a best selling children’s author and has over 126 books published! She is best known for the Adventures of the Bailey School Kids series. This series is made up of over 80 books, and children just love to read them (I know I did whenever I was a child). In each of the books the Bailey School Kids encounter a seemingly innocent character, like their teacher or school custodian, who might be a mythical character like a vampire or ghost! Children will read this and the whole time be wondering if the character really is mythical or not, and of course finds out at the end.
These chapter books are fun for 5th graders, and there are now the Bailey School Kids “Jr.” chapter books series for 2nd to 4th graders. The URL to her wonderful website is http://www.marciatjones.com/
