Today was Clifford, the Big Red Dog's 50th Birthday. We took the opportunity to celebrate this special occasion. We watched Scholastic Book's live party webcast from New York while we did our morning activities. The Mayor of New York even proclaimed the day as Clifford The Big Red Dog Day.
We got to hear some children ask Norman Bridwell (Clifford's creator) some interesting questions. Our class joined in with approximately 5,000 classrooms kids all around the country, and sang Happy Birthday to Clifford. Later we had a special treat of Dog Bones (crackers) for snack. After our snack & Clifford stories, the children drew a picture of Clifford and worked on a Kid Writing activity. I am very proud of the work the children are doing! Our color word of the day was ... red!
