Daniel is having trouble with nightmares. The scary beasties disturb his sleep and now he is going to fight back with his mighty pencil! He draws rescue animals and vehicles to help vanquish the enemy so he can sleep soundly...with paper and pencil beside his bed.
Kindergarten students laughed and cheered as Dan raced acrossed the pages to victory.

The Pencil by Allan Ahlberg
We have been working with shapes and learning how to use Kid Pix in kindergarten. This week we are branching out to read about drawing and we are starting with The Pencil by Allan Ahlberg, the story of a pencil and his drawings. The students thought Kitty was the best character because she added color.
I notice on the dedication that Mr. Ahlberg thanks David and Daniel. I wonder who these two are. Could they be David and Daniel Kamish? I will be doing more research on this idea.

A Present for Toot by Holly Hobbie
Toot's birthday is coming and Puddle is shopping for something very special, but Toot won't give Puddle any clues as to what to buy. I notice the audience perks up when Tulip speaks because of the characterization I give the voice.
