The residency generated a lot of excitement throughout the school. This work has further enhanced my confidence and proficiency with this medium.

Bring your students’ imagination to life with a visit from the author of Snickeyfritz. Snickeyfritz tells the tale of three little girls who are stuck inside the house on a rainy day. After complaining that they’re bored, their Papa sends them on a clever little treasure hunt. During this assembly the book is projected onto a large screen for the students to see. The author also brings in artwork and artifacts from different countries that are featured throughout the scenes of the book, and give the students a chance to have an 'I-spy' treasure hunt, looking for the objects within the pages of the books.  There will also be one or more characters from the book - giving the students a chance to see their size and construction. 

Snickeyfritz was recently given a Mom's Choice Award! The judges for the award included Dr. Twila C. Liggett, ten-time Emmy-winner, professor and founder of PBS’s Reading Rainbow; Julie Aigner-Clark, Creator of Baby Einstein and The Safe Side Project; and Jodee Blanco, New York Times best-selling author.
