A visit from the author Tedd Arnold

Canal View was very lucky to have a visit from the author Tedd Arnold. The Canal View Parent Association supported the efforts to bring him to our school community. The excitement began to build weeks before his arrival as we read his books, visited his website and began to form questions we wanted to ask him.


It was truly a learning experience for all. You will find enclosed small clips of everyone sharing their favorite part after Tedd Arnold's presentation.
