         <description><![CDATA[<div>We are a 4th grade class reading Duncan Tonatiuh’s books in our weekly library class. We live in Wisconsin and something special about our school is that it is in the country and it is surrounded by cornfields.  We either ride the bus or get a ride from our parents to school. We enjoy playing outside in the 4 seasons of WI.  </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>We are a Grade 2 class from St. Anne's Catholic School in Kitchener. We are very lucky to be in a French Immersion class and also to be at a Catholic School learning about God and Jesus. We have a climber at our school that we get to play on at recess. We have 4 seasons in Ontario, Canada, and right now we are enjoying the beautiful fall leaves. We are looking forward to Halloween at the end of the month.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>We are Mrs. Lange's 2nd grade class. We love to eat pizza and play soccer. In the summer, some of us like to cool off by jumping in one of our community pools, The NAC, or our neighborhood pools. Some kids even have their own pool to cool off in. One holiday tradition some of us celebrate is Christmas, when we like to have families over for brunch. In Newtown, some of us go to big shopping stores like COSTCO, because we like to get water and clothes there. We can also look at some of the products there. There are smaller stores too, like McCaffreys, ACME and GIANT. WE LOVE NEWTOWN</div>]]></description>

         <title>Hello from Walcott, Iowa.  We are part of the Davenport Community School District.  We have 1st and 2nd Graders doing the author study this year.  It is our first time participating in the GRA.  We are fully in person, but have to wear masks.  Our school is K - 8 grade. Our weather is starting to change and get colder.  We go outside until is 15 degrees, so we have to bundle up in the winter! We get one recess every day.</title>
