Today we were very lucky to have a published author visit our class. Mrs. Kathleen McMahon is a retired teacher who loves to write children's books. She shared two of stories that she wrote, her husband illustrated, and her son edited. Mrs. McMahon encouraged the kids to write on a daily basis and reinforced that they have the best stories in their heads. The kids loved listening to her read about a cat named Mister Pudge. Thank you to Mrs. Breede for coordinating this VERY special guest in our class!
Here is Mrs. McMahon with a few of the students who she taught at Norwood Park Elementary in Pre-Kindergarten. Thank you for being here at Garvy today and for the new books for our classroom library!
If interested in buying a copy of her books yourself, you can contact Mrs. McMahon by email at KMcM925@comcast.net
Does your child enjoy writing at home on their own? What kind of stories do they write?
