Book in the Spotlight: Crenshaw By Katherine Applegate
The book helps expose children (probably best grades 2-4) to ideas of hunger and homelessness. Empathy and the wish to help others become the natural outgrowth of this tale. Campaigns surrounding the book encourage children to donate food and help local people in difficult situations. What better way to start the new year than with actions like these?!
New Sumdog Contest - Beginning February 26, 2016 - Ends March 3.
To take part, students simply play Sumdog's math games.

Each contest runs from 8am local time Friday to 8pm the following Thursday - but you can play at any time during this period.

We had to take the book Harris Burdick and we had to write a story about one of the pictures in his book. I liked that our imagination could go wild with it and do what we wanted with the picture.
