We were so honored to welcome children's author Daniel Jude Miller to McConnellsville earlier this week! Miller presented at both elementary schools in our district about authorship, illustration and design. He gave students some great starting points on how to explore authorship themselves, and showed them how with some household items, they can make a "monster" of their own as inspired by his "Monsters in Manhattan" series!
In preparation for the big day, students made monster pictures that were on display in the hallway. Daniel enjoyed them very much!
BOO! The stacks at the CMS Library Media Center have some very festive visitors around for the rest of the month!
