Owney visits our classroom!

Owney, the Mail-pouch pooch introduced in Mona Kerby's Red Clover nominated book, Owney, the Mail-pouch pooch, visited our clasroom earlier this week. This stuffed animal Owney represents Owney the REAL dog who traveled around the world, working for the United Postal Service in the late 1800s. Owney (the stuffed animal) now visits classrooms across Vermont and we had the opportunity to read some stories along with him.
We read a fantastic collection of paragraphs and essays on Australia compiled by the 5th and 6th graders in Ms. Kenney and Ms. Wright's class last year. Please visit our classroom digital portfolio to see our Voicethread research on this amazing Red Clover Book, Owney, the Mail-pouch pooch, written by Mona Kerby (Click here for link)

 

Also, please view our slide-show from our last meeting with our Kindergarten Buddies. We had a great time reading together!
