Blue Spruce Nominated Author, Kari Lynn Winters


On Tuesday May 20th, Kari came to visit our Kindergarten and Primary grades. She not only told stories to the students (including Jeffrey and Sloth - her nominated book in the 2008 Blue Spruce Award) but used the students as characters within her stories. She encouraged everyone to make connections, predictions and to visualize stories as well as telling jokes and singing songs.
Kari is a true entertainer and we were all happy to have had her visit with us.
