August 7, 2013 This is now year 19 of the Reading, Writing and Rhyming School Tour. It's unbelievable, but it's true. Besides being on the air, it's the most fun I've ever had behind a piano. And the fun's about to continue. In fact, I'm DOUBLING the appearances this year to give more schools a chance, and to give me more of a chance to meet YOU!
June 6, 2013 This was a very interesting and rewarding experience - traveling to the Marie Curie Institute of Engineering and Communications in Amsterdam. (Sounds like a college, doesn't it?) Well, these kids were smart enough to be in one, and they were just second graders!
June 5, 2013 This is a pretty novel idea, but it could get a little complicated. If your kid bullies, should YOU be fined?
February 26, 2013 I know I sound like a broken record, but I had a blast at my recent school appearance. I don't think that will ever change! This one was a total group effort. A parent started the writing process and the kids "tweaked it" here and there. Here is the result.
January 13, 2013 You've heard of Reading, Writing and Rhyming? Now we have Reading, Writing and Publishing! This is a fantastic new service I can get kids to really work on the writing skills plus get their work out there with Boomwriter
December 20, 2012 I was reminded by Mrs. Toher yesterday upon visiting this school that it is my 5th appearance there. Hopefully I'm not wearing out my welcome, but I always enjoy the kids at Yates Magnet School. This visit was no exception
December 16, 2012 This incredible, sickening tragedy hits EVERYONE in so many ways. Whether you are a parent, a teacher, a child, a relative, friend, neighbor, WHATEVER - you have to be in total shock. As for me? I visit 30 elementary schools a year. I am devastated as well
September 17, 2012 I guess the title says it all here. It's a good problem to have I guess. I've been inundated with requests this year and although very happy about it, I don't want to shut out "old customers" or new schools who want a visit. Not trying to pressure you, teachers - I'm just saying....
August 27, 2012 This is now year 18 of the Reading, Writing and Rhyming School Tour. It's unbelievable, but it's true. Heck, I'd do another 18 if I could. Besides being on the air, it's the most fun I've ever had behind a piano. And the fun's about to continue. I want to come to YOUR school. Here's how to sign up
August 10, 2012 We're wrapping up the summer fairly soon. I want to write a song with kids outside in a real live summer camp setting. Any camp counselors out there?
December 13, 2011 Do you know the old saying, "you had to be there to appreciate it"? This is one of those times. In fact, every experience I have in these classrooms has to be seen to be believed. I'm almost speechless when I talk about Mrs. Compton's class at Boght Elementary School
I always feel that certain types of weather make me feel like doing certain activities.
