Enjoy a Visit with Children’s Author and Poet Michelle Schaub!
**Now booking for the 2024-2025 School Year for in-person and virtual visits. See Presentation Packet for more details.**
As a teacher with over ten years of experience, I love engaging and inspiring students through hands-on, student-centered activities. Through my interactive programs, teachers and students gain a new appreciation for the richness of words and learn specific writing strategies. I offer a variety of formats for my school visits, including assemblies, classroom visits, student writing workshops, and virtual visits. My programs can be customized to any age of students from K-6. I divide my time between Illinois and Colorado. I love working with local schools, but I am also happy to travel to different states for visits.
