Yesterday the WE 5th Grade Book Club attended the Heartland Literature Festival held at Washburn University, featuring award-winning, nonfiction author Steve Sheinkin. See previous WE post about our awesome experience at the Festival!

Students were asked to read one of Sheinkin's books before attending the Festival. Our book club read Diamond Fever! before the day's festivities.

While we were at the Festival, one of our students was interviewed by WIBW about his thoughts on the book. Kudos to Levi for his positive representation of Wanamaker Elementary!
