Recently, Janice Pollard’s third grade class at Kent Primary School enjoyed an extra-special treat! They participated in a live author event with Jeff Kinney, the author of the "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" series!Mr. Kinney shared stories about his own childhood and explained how some of his experiences inspire the stories he writes. He also shared fun trivia, drew pictures of his characters while the students tried to guess who he was drawing, and read a few pages from his newest book, "Fight or Flight!""We are excited to share that we now have a copy of his new book in our classroom," Mrs. Pollard said. "Students will take turns borrowing it and enjoying the latest adventure. We hope to participate in more live author events throughout the school year."
