I had the best Skype with you all! Everyone asked awesome questions and bravo Nick for jumping in! 🙂 I love having guys in my sessions.
Good luck to all of you during NaNo and Tweet or Facebook me with your progress!
And, just because, here are some pics I took with my Webcam while waiting to Skype, lol . . .
(The kitty hat is from Kohls, btw!) 🙂
Happy Friday! xoxo
Still writing like mad, BUT, I wanted to give you guys a chance to win a signed copy of the Canterwood book of your choice! This contest is open to US residents only (though Canada and other countries are welcome to enter (I do Skype outside of the US), I am unable to ship your prize. Sorry!)
Here’s what to do:
Ask you parent, librarian, teacher, book club leader, etc., to have me as a guest author this fall via Skype.
Give them my Website address: http://www.jessicaburkhart.com which has all of the information about my visits. Or, they can e-mail me at jess _ burkhart AT hotmail DOT com.
If they contact me and we arrange a visit, I will e-mail you for your address and ask which Canterwood book you’d like me to sign and send.
This will be a contest that I’ll leave open through the fall as I know many of you can’t get in touch with your teachers over the summer.
Leave a comment if you’re going to ask and I’ll keep an eye on my inbox! I hope to “see” you via Skype in your classroom this fall! 😀
Just finished the most amazing Skype classroom with Mr. Brian Kelley’s eighth grade class! I spoke for about half an hour and the kids asked questions for the next 15 minutes. Mr. Kelley had to cut off their questions to get them to the next class. They were thoughtful, listened so well and had tons of great questions.
Thank you, Patton Middle School in Kennett Square, PA, for hosting me! I hope to visit you again one day!
If you’d like to set up a visit via Skype visit http://www.jessicaburkhart.com and check out my contact page. You’ll find all the info you need to get started.
Happy Friday!
Here’s a screenshot of a library visit I did in New Jersey yesterday, only I was still in NYC. We did the visit via Webcam and Skype. It was so great! I loved chatting with the readers. It’s also beneficial to the schools because it’s super cost effective. Plus, the technology is easy to set up.
I’m scheduling Skype visits now, so if you’re interested, shoot me an e-mail at jess_burkhart AT hotmail DOT com for more info. There’s also more detail on my Website–www.jessicaburkhart.com.
