The copies of Always, Abigail have been circulating among the girls at BMS this month, and the girls who read the book met today during advisory to plan the Skype visit with author Nancy J. Cavanaugh and to plan some follow up activities related to the book. The girls are going to make a poster to share during the Skype visit; they've chosen books to read to elementary students, and they're working on coloring page activities to go with their books; they're also planning a couple of craft activities including making their own journals in Abigail-style. Such creativity!
