Mrs. Pinkney's newest fans, Highland Park 3rd graders:

3rd graders recently participated in a live, online February interview with famous children's author, Andrea Davis Pinkney (whose books are published by Scholastic) with other schools from around the country. Students read her most recent book Duke Ellington: The Piano Prince & His Orchestra, & then participated in the interview & submitted questions they generated after reading the book.
Students, along with Ms. Hunt & Mr. Etie, were able to learn much about Mrs. Pinkney & her writing, as well as learning about her husband, Brian, who helped them win the Caldecott Award for this book with his amazing & rich illustrations. Highland Park 3rd graders submitted 4 sets of questions, & all of them were posted by the moderator & then answered by the author!!
