Personification thanks to Gloria Estefan

The students are learning about PERSONIFICATION. Today, I read them, "The Magically Mysterious Adventures of Noelle the Bulldog," by Gloria Estefan. There were a lot of talking animals in this book! Mrs. Ryan is covering GLORIA ESTEFAN'S Biography. Who would have know that she was not only a singer, but an author too!

This story also taught students that we are not failures! We all have something we're good at. Noelle finally figured out his strengths and helped his friends through some tough times. This song, "Been Wishin'" was written by Gloria Estefan and it comes with the book. Check it out:
