¿So many questions?

After a relaxing (yet curious) snow day on Thursday, Edgewood was excited to host scientist, teacher, author Heather Montgomery for Author Day 2015. Mrs. Montgomery really encouraged our kids to ask questions, make observations, and tell stories. She brought animal pelts and bones for the students to touch and hold and study. She showed pictures of caves and trees and (for the 4th and 5th graders) a dead rattlesnake! Student comments have generally been: 'It was gross but cool!' 'She was weird but in a good way!' 'She didn't read her books but she told the story of how she made her books.' And Heather Montgomery commented, "They were inquisitive, respectful, and creative thinkers!" All in all, Author Day was a celebration of curiosity and a challenge to continue exploring the world of ideas.
