Author+Study

At Skyline Elementary we love reading and love good authors so we are using this opportunity to learn more about one of our favorites and to practice for our 4th Quarter Elkhorn History research project! During this unit we will be researching genres, a famous author, and creating a keynote presentation to share our new knowledge with our classmates and visitors to our site. Please check back to see our finished projects during the month of March.

Possible Author Ideas: Dav Pilkey Ann Martin Beverly Cleary Chris Van Allsburg Jan Brett Jack Prelutsky Jon Scieszka Judy Blume Kevin Henkes Mem Fox Eric Carle Pat Mora Sharon Creech Shel Silverstein Roald Dahl J.K Rowling Patricia Polacco Betsy Duffey Mo Willems Kate DiCamillo Mary Pope Osborne Gordon Korman
