Thursday, February 16, 2017 is World Read Aloud Day. This is a day to take action on behalf of the 758 million people who can not read. It is sponsored by LitWorld. Mrs. Burroughs shared information with us that led us to a list of authors that volunteered their time to skype with schools around the nation. How cool!!
As I was scrolling through the authors names I recognized one that we have in our classroom library, Dianne White, the author of Blue on Blue. I was able to reach out and connect with Dianne and she agreed to skype with us on World Read Aloud Day at 12pm! Here is the link to her website http://diannewrites.com/.

We are thrilled and honored that she will be taking time out of her day to share in our common love of books and reading!
For the next month we will be reading the book many times, creating our own book inspired by Blue on Blue and preparing questions to ask Dianne when we skype. If you have any questions or would like to join us please let me know! It is sure to be an exciting moment for us!
I wish everyone a peaceful long weekend.
Love,
Miss Brehm
