"Poor Teddy" Author visits HGE

In February of 2020, ​first and second grade students at Hialeah Gardens Elementary had the opportunity to meet and sit with the author of Poor Teddy, Lisa DePriest. Poor Teddy is a realistic fiction book about a dog that gets adopted at the dog shelter. The author read the book to the students and students were able to complete an activity with the author as well! The author and the students discussed the genre and what it meant. What a great experience for our Dolphins!
