If you are looking for a dynamic, engaging lesson for your students, please consider bringing illustrator/author Josh Alves to your school. He led workshops for our ten 4th grade classrooms. The students learned so much and enjoyed the hands-on approach used by Josh. There were so many connections to other content areas and future job opportunities. Students continued working on their designs even after the workshop ended. MSAD51 will definitely invite Josh to return to our school again!

Josh's school visits are always a hit with our students. He has a great way of connecting with kids and helping them unlock their own creativity. We look forward to having him back every year.
