Captain Mama Virtual Author Visits
for Schools & Educators
Hear from other educators’ experiences!
We offer two author visit models for educators, librarians, and parents.
Option One
Introducing Prerecorded, Virtual Author Visit Packages in English & in Spanish
Teachers: want to bring the author into your classroom virtually, but without logistical and scheduling hassles?
You can now download the Captain Mama multimedia presentation and treat your students to a uniquely inspirational and educational experience ANYTIME, in English and in Spanish.
Your students will hear a woman veteran’s unusual military aviation service story. Born the oldest daughter of traditionally-minded immigrants from Mexico, HOW she secured her ticket (and Air Force ROTC scholarship) to college, and stories from flight training and almost a decade of global adventures.
This classroom content is an inspirational lesson any day. It’s also a wonderful fit for after-school programs, Women’s History Month (March), Mother’s Day (May), Memorial Day (May due to the books’ dedications), Hispanic Heritage Month (Sept/Oct), Veterans Day (November), Holiday Gifts for Winter Break, and Summer Reading programs.
Option Two
Live, In-Person or Virtual Author Visits to Classrooms for School Assemblies & Classrooms, in Spanish & English
Surprise children with books and patches at school assemblies, classroom visits, and school community events celebrating family literacy. A great fit for ALL elementary schools; especially inspirational for schools serving military-connected children, English language learners, and at Title 1 sites.
After enjoying the prerecorded content and books, you may wish to schedule a LIVE, virtual author talk for Q & A time so your students can ask questions of the author as part of your ELA curriculum standards.
We love bringing FUN programs, model airplanes, flights suits, to introduce aviation concepts that tie into science, math, and writing standards.
We’re happy to collaborate with teachers in advance to best serve your students.
