AUTHOR SKYPES WITH FOURTH GRADE
David A. Kelly, author of the Ballpark Mysteries Series, skyped with the fourth graders today to celebrate World Read Aloud Day. What a treat and an excellent learning experience

Mr. Kelly explained about the books he has written, his writing experience and the process of writing. The boys and girls heard an important message: Writing is a process that takes TIME! Mr. Kelly said he often gets back his manuscript with up to 29 edits on ONE PAGE! He revises his books 3 to 4 times AFTER he thinks he has completed them.
After Mr. Kelly's presentation, he spent even more time answering our questions. He also sent an autographed memento for every student in fourth grade!
What a great experience we had today.
