What a great book! It would definitely be a plus to my classroom where crayons have a special place in my room.
ABC Mouse looks and sounds awesome! I am excited to get that up and going for my classroom!
I loved the first one, “The Day the Crayons Quit” and I know this one will be just fantastic.
I will be checking out the curious George facebook site. My kiddos love him. I would love the book I have the other one but not this one.
I would love to win The Day the Crayons Came Home!
“The Day the Crayons Quit” was my favorite lesson last year and my students were completely enthralled with that book. I cannot wait to build a lesson off the sequel! I love the Janitor of the Year award. What a fantastic way to honor one of the most important (yet frequently overlooked) people in our school community!
Nominate a janitor gets my vote. Our janitor is a true treasure!
I like the Janitor of the Year Award. Janitors are such a necessary part of schools. We could not run without them. This is a great way to make them feel appreciated for what they do.
The Day the Crayons Came Home would be great!
I love that you can nominate your janitor. They do so much for our schools!
I am going to participate in the Janitor of the Year award. The janitor at our school is amazing, and always goes above and beyond for our students!
I love the crayon sequel book, The Day the Crayons came home- such a great series!!
Yes, the students love ABCmouse.com/schools!
