Book Week is a special week at Concordia. Ms Shepard arranged for Moms to bring in a treat all week relating to the book, “If You Give a Mouse a Cookie”.

Monday were cookies for “If You Give a Mouse a Cookie”.
Tuesday were muffins for “If You Give a Moose a Muffin”.
Wednesday were pancakes for “If You Give a Pig a Pancake”.
Thursday were cupcakes for “If You Give a Cat a Cupcake”.
Friday was popcorn for “If You Take a Mouse to the Movies”.

On Wednesday, the girls and I went to an evening with the guest author, David Biedrzycki. He talked about his story board ideas and how stories come to life. He showed us how he does all his illustrations on the computer. He presented his new book, “Me and My Dragon” which will be out this summer. Mr. Biedrzycki was selling signed books of his Ace Lacewing Bug Detective books.

During the week, Mr. Biedrzycki came into each class to draw with the children. Here are the drawings the girls brought home.

On Thursday, Elle took her sleeping mat, a pillow, Fluffy, 3 books and a flashlight to school for “Reading Detective Camp”

Book Week ends on Friday with a character parade. Eleri decided she would be Fancy Nancy with Posh Puppy. She dressed to look just like the cover. Poodle skirt- check, black spotted shirt – check, a big pink ribbon – check and color necklaces – check! She also made Buddy fancy for the parade.

At school, Eleri is waiting for her turn to show off her character.

Eleri’s class walked across the stage to display their characters.

The guest author, David Biedrzycki, finished his week with the kids at the parade. He has been very involved with the kids all week. The administration staff came to book character day dressed as characters from Mr. Biedrzycki’s book, Ace Lacewing.
