Author Celebration!

We proudly display our published books!

Mark Teague is a well known illustrator of children's books. Recently we read several of his How Do Dinosaurs... books. Scholastic Book Clubs teamed up with Mark Teague to have a contest for students to come up with a new book title for the Dinosaur series. We have a class of artistically talented children so we decided to enter! Each child had to come up with a new book title as well as design the cover for the book. The titles that they came up with were all so different and very creative! After I mailed in our entries, each child spent time during Writer's Workshop writing and revising the book for their title. Several children shared them at Town Meeting last week. Today we shared our books during an author celebration with our third grade reading buddies! Wish us luck! Contest winners are announced in late March. We are keeping our fingers crossed!
