Run, Run, As Fast As You Can!
Run, Run, as fast as you can! You can’t catch me…I’m the Gingerbread Man! Schools choose a theme for each motivational event and what an event this one was! Come with us to see an interactive play of the story. Parents, teachers, and children were all involved. Students each made a Gingerbread Man stick puppet to wave during the play. (I do hope that Gingerbread Man got away).
Clifford the BIg Red Dog
Clifford is one of the favorite characters to visit Motivational events. I believe I’ve seen several of his family at different events.
Book Reviews
Inside View of a Book
Book Reviews by RIFSoCal Kids allow us to see value in books from a child’s point of view. The following are a few of thousands of thank you notes containing reviews of the books chosen by our kids. They are poignant, funny, and honest as only a child can be.
The Stars!
”Dear RIF People, Thank you for the new book. My book’s name is The Stars. It is about stars. I liked the book because it has a bear and 3 birds in the sky. But my favorite part of the book is when there are yellow, blue, and red stars. I didn’t know that. Your Friend, Vanessa”
Ruby Bridges
“I really appreciate the book, Ruby Bridges. I like how Ruby Bridges was a brave little girl. I like Ruby Bridges because she stood up to the people. I also like her because she changed how black kids were treated in schools that didn’t want them there. Love, Shanell”
