Our school was chosen to be part of their tour and the visit is sponsored by TD Bank, Canadian Children's Book Centre, Scholastic Canada and the London Public Library. Our visit was FREE thanks to these sponsors. We heard a special presentation from our authors, and received a free autographed copy (autographed by both author and illustrator) of their book "Gifts." A special thank you to the many parents and grandparents in attendance. To see some exciting photos of our day click on the link below: Author Visit Pictures Starring...our Gr. 1 students.

Each student created a page based on each sense (what does peace look like, what does peace sound like, etc.) and then put it together in a book to take home. The students then chose 2 pages and we put them all together in a classroom movie.

I hope to use this web-based program with students this year...Ok, remember, I'm just learning too! GoAnimate.com: Bonaventure Meadows Library by Mrs. Library
