4th grade students at Rousseau had a rare opportunity to Skype with the author, Tommy Donbavand. Tommy Donbavand is the author of the comedy horror novels, Scream Street.
Beginning in September 2010, he set off on a virtual tour of the United States with the help of Candlewick Press. He aims to visit one school in each of the 50 states via Skype within the next two years. Rousseau was lucky enough to be the Nebraska school for his Scream Street Skype Tour. Our 4th graders had the opportunity to interact with him from his home in Lancashire, England and ask him questions. During the session, Tommy was very enthusiastic and eager to talk with the kids about whatever they come up with.
