Join The Flipgrid Virtual Field Trip, How Ordinary People Change the World with New York Times Bestselling Author Brad Meltzer

We are excited for another special week of virtual library events! 

Every week, I put together a schedule of events including read aloud's, Chapter Book Friday, special virtual visits with authors, illustrators and lots of experts, and we always include the amazing Flipgrid Virtual Field Trips.  
You can read all about the Flipgrid Virtual Field Trips here in this post and by following the...

This week the Flipgrid Virtual Field Trip is How Ordinary People Change the World with New York Times Bestselling Author Brad Meltzer, 
author of the Ordinary People Change the World series.  You can learn more it here


Join New York Times bestselling author Brad Meltzer for his talk centered around his Ordinary People Change the World series that highlights heroes from all walks of life who provide inspiration and help kids build kindness, character, and compassion, one hero at a time. This engaging biography series focuses on the traits that made our heroes great--the traits that kids can aspire to in order to live heroically themselves.

January 27 is Holocaust Remembrance Day, and the newest addition to the Ordinary People Change the World series is I AM ANNE FRANK. Kids can learn how Anne Frank’s courage and hope during a time of terror are still an inspiration for people today and how her diary has brought the horrors of war and bigotry to life for young readers around the world.

Brad Meltzer (www.bradmeltzer.com) is the New York Times bestselling author of Heroes for My Son, Heroes for My Daughter, The Lincoln Conspiracy, and a number of suspense novels like The Escape Artist. He and illustrator Chistopher Eliopoulos are the creators of the PBS KIDS TV show Xavier Riddle and the Secret Museum which is based on their Ordinary People Change the World series. Brad lives in Florida with his wife and their three children. (And did you know that a picture of Brad is hidden in every Ordinary People Change the World book?)


You can register for this event here.  This link can be shared with our virtual learning families too. 

In this post from August 2020, I wrote about how we would be using this weekly calendar, and others throughout the year, to keep us organized for our face-to-face and virtual learners.  If you'd like to use the template for Our Library and Virtual Events, you will find it in the post.
