At the close of this year's Silver Birch reading program, the students in Grade Three voted for Feather Brain by Maureen Bush as their favourite book. As part of their follow-up activities, our youngsters corresponded with Mrs. Bush via email and also made a paper mache dinosaur according to the specifications indicated in the book. Last week, they were able to travel downtown where they actually met with Mrs. Bush and presented her with the dinosaur. They had a wonderful time getting to chat with their favourite author up close and personally. Mrs. Bush had an effect on our children, and evidently they made an impression on her as they are mentioned on the author's own blog!
