Submit a comment to the blog by 11:59 pm EDT Sunday, June 7, 2015, to tell me which resources are your favorites. One lucky teacher will win two DVD/CD/book sets and a haiku tale featuring friendship. In Same, Same but Different, two pen pals’ worlds look different, 
but through letters and pictures, they discover they are very much the same. What’s the coolest friend? In One Cool Friend, Elliot finds it’s a penguin and sets out to care for it in his Victorian New England home. Then Won Ton and Chopstick shares a cat and dog tale told in Haiku as a kitty adjusts to a new puppy in the household. (Update: congratulations to Sherry, who is the winner of our prize.)
