Nancy Carlson wowed Bennett's kindergartners through third graders on Monday, March 22nd. She shared where many of her ideas came from. Her first and only dance recital in which she cried on stage became Harriet's Recital. She also shared how important imagination is in creating a story. She drew pictures of many of her characters. She taught them how to draw George, Harriet, and a disco guinea pig.
Letters from the first graders showed that not only did they love her visit, but that they learned some of the important lessons her books teach. One student wrote he would be honest, another said that she wouldn't give up.
