BOOK OF THE MONTH: EMILY'S ART

For February, our Book of the Month is Emily’s Art by Peter Catalanotto.  The book focuses on students learning about judges and being judged.  Sometimes, opinions of others can affect whether we win a race, contest, or science fair.  Hard lessons are learned when students realize that everyone has an opinion. 
Not only can we (as a reading community) connect with each other at Marlin, but we can possibly connect with this author.  If you are interested, Peter Catalanotto is on Facebook.  You can LIKE and follow him to see what is he doing.  You could also send him a message in hopes that he replies!
Here’s to a “picture perfect” month of literacy, learning, and loaning ideas.  We can make Marlin a true reading community!  Just reach out to others and the Marlin magic will happen!
