VISITS
I love visiting schools, libraries, and camps! I work with students of all ages, teachers, and even parents. The following list includes examples of some of the workshops that I offer. Each presentation can be tailored to meet your needs.

With a Skip, Hop, Run: Activity & Discussion
This presentation is specific to my book, With a Skip, Hop, Run. During this visit, students will engage in an activity (think: scavenger hunt, art making, game, design factory) that will introduce them to thinking about nature. We then recap what we learned during the activity and transition into a discussion about spending time outdoors.

With a Skip, Hop, Run:
Teacher Workshop
This workshop is targeted towards educators. In it, I present some of my key research findings from my work in graduate school that inspired the creation of With a Skip, Hop, Run. We discuss the benefits of spending time outside and different methods that teachers can facilitate doing so with their classes during the school day.

Creating a Children's Book
During this visit, students will learn all about creating a children's book. From brainstorming an idea to writing, illustrating, and publishing, they will experience the ins and outs of storytelling - with the possibility to create a children's book of their own!
