Amy! I found your ‘Twas the Week Before Christmas poem on a friend’s Pinterest page and I went, wait, I know an Amy Oschlager, and lo and behold you’re the Amy I knew from Northwestern! Good to see you on here! I’ll have to bookmark your blog!

Hello Amy!

I really enjoyed reading your blog. I also would like to learn from you. How did you incorporate technology in reading and writing? What are the topics in writing which you see most children are interested to write about? Thank you so much.

Sincerely,

Kayla Sarte

Hi Amy,
Your blog impresses me! You seem like a teacher who really knows what she’s doing integrating technology in the classroom, rather than using it just because it’s cool and tech-y.

I’ve written a children’s chapter book (aimed at 3rd and 4th graders) that will help readers learn about gravity. I’m considering posting much of the story online for free, and inviting kids to add their own illustrations to it, either using a drawing app or digital photos of drawings they’ve done on paper.

Does this sound like it would appeal to the 3rd and 4th graders you know? I’d appreciate any feedback you could share.

Thank you!
