Follow Boo!

This fall, third graders read a fiction story in Scholastic's Story Works magazine titled "Following Boo."  In this story, while a family vacations in Florida, brother and sister find a lost dog in the swamp behind their camp site AND uncover a "fountain of life."  At first, they think they should leave Boo behind so he can continue to drink from the fountain.  However, Nate remembers what his grandfather said about having lived a good, long life and being with his family and decides that maybe Boo would want to be a loving family, too.  So, they bring Boo home with them.

After reading this story, third graders were given an opportunity to participate in a contest for Scholastic, writing a paragraph to explain how Boo helps Nate heal from the loss of his grandfather.

Congratulations to the winner from our class...one of only 10 winners in the contest!
