Students recently welcomed iconic children’s book author and motivational speaker Bruce Hale, who wrote the “Chet Gecko” series, “The Monstertown Mysteries” and “Clark the Shark.”
Mr. Hale spoke about his writing process and explained that following your dreams takes work and persistence. He also told the students that they need to “dream big.” Most importantly, listening to the author jumpstarted the students into believing they are writers. He also shared information about his new book “Super Troop.”
During Mr. Hale’s visit, the students and faculty also showcased their favorite books by dressing up as book characters. Some of the characters included crayons from “The Day the Crayons Quit,” the caterpillar from Eric Carle’s “The Very Hungry Caterpillar” and the witch from Jill Murphy’s “The Worst Witch” series.
East Quogue Elementary School would like to thank reading teacher Dee Burgwin and the PTA for inviting Mr. Hale for such a motivational and fun morning.
