Our 3rd graders enjoyed a virtual author visit with BookBreak Author Talks Andrea Beaty, author of Ada Twist, Scientist! Today’s visit inspired our young readers to ask questions & explore big ideas. We were thrilled to have one of our questions answered by the author herself. In her opinion, the smartest people in the room aren’t the ones with all the answers, but the ones who ask the questions. 😉 📚
