Eric Litwin

What an exciting day it was meeting author Eric Litwin on Friday!  We spent the week working on our version of Pete the Cat. We learned how much work it is to write, illustrate and present a story.  We shared our video with Mr. Eric and sent him thank you notes telling him what we loved best about his show!  We hope you enjoy the video.  A very special thank you to Ms. Helms class for helping us with this project.  We love our "giants"!
