Children's author Hogg visits Valley View |
|
October 28, 2015 |
“Children, you must pay your teachers…you must
pay them with ‘respect’!” stated Gary Hogg,
author of
such books as Garbage Snooper Surprise,
Don’t
Bake That Snake!, and I Heard of a Nerd Bird.
Mr. Hogg came to Valley View Elementary on
Monday, October 12 and worked with close to 400
students in assemblies and workshops. All of the
students had the opportunity to purchase his
books, meet him, and have their books signed.
The children at the assemblies giggled and
applauded as Hogg transformed into a well-padded
hairdresser named Beulah who, with her blue
beehive hairdo, helped a ‘pig’ win first place
at the county fair.
Hogg ended the day with workshops for third,
fourth and fifth grade students. He emphasized
detail, detail, and more detail, along with
choosing a topic that is meaningful to the
writer. He ended his time by having the students
repeat, “I am an author! Ta! Da!”
 Valley
View is thankful for the Bonners Ferry Rotary
Club, the Valley View PTO, and the Eagles Aerie
#3522 for making it possible for Gary Hogg to
visit our school.
Principal Williams and the staff at Valley View
are devoted to providing reading and writing
opportunities to the students. Thanks to
financial support of our community and all those
that volunteer their time. We are making a
difference in the lives of our children. |
