THANK YOU SO MUCH!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
We had a very successful online bookfair May 3 - May 16. I just want to thank you so very much for all your support! The representative from Scholastic called to say how impressed she was with our online bookfair results! Although we have made much more in past years, I felt very supported and very proud of our wonderful Bulldog Community.

This week some of the older Elementary and Intermediate students were able to learn about Audrey Faye Hendricks and the Children's March, when I came to read The Youngest Marcher by Cynthia Levinson. This interview includes the author's wonderful reading of the story, and after the reading, about 30 minutes of an interview. During the Q&A, Cynthia Levinson shares more about what she learned about Audrey Faye Hendricks and her experiences, what she learned about the Children's March, and other things she learned throughout her research. Parents, please be aware: Some of this subject matter might be upsetting for younger children.

What a wonderful day to celebrate reading and being able to share it with others! Here are a few resources to enjoy today that some wonderful authors have shared with you. Some of these are books, and some are just a taste. Some of these books you might know already, and some are books that are not available in stores yet.

...and lastly, I thought this book, God Bless Our Troops, might be a great one for today, as we "Celebrate Our Nation" as part of Catholic Schools' Week today. The read aloud begins at the 11:33 mark.

Bulldog Families: December 21st, via Facebook, join Loren Long, author & illustrator of one of our Bulldog favorites, Otis, and all the wonderful books in the Otis series, for a read and draw along!
Loren Long's Read Along, Draw Along
It will be live on the Crayola Education's Facebook page at 6pm our time, so you can make comments and ask questions at that time, if you like. If that time does not work for you and your family, you should still be able to watch a recording of it on the Crayola Education Facebook page afterwards. I hope you & your family can enjoy this read along of The Night Before Christmas, illustrated by Loren Long, and then have fun drawing along with him.
December 4th -- Happy Friday! Time to kick off your shoes, enjoy those cozy socks, and maybe a cookie or two. #NationalSockDay #NationalCookie Day

Choose one or try them all! Click on each one, print them, and see what your family and friends can create differently from the same picture, too. Snap a picture and send it to my email -- I love seeing your creativity and genius!
