Irregular Verb Game

This is a game that you have to match the present tense verb with the past tense verb. For example go would match with went. Its pretty fun, you have to concentrate though. Have fun!

Author Visit

Beth Evans Caldwell, author of Jack Gives a Smack came to visit Sheffield on April 7th. We had a great time getting to meet a real life author and it was a treat to hear her read her own book! Mrs. Caldwell answered a lot of questions that we had about being an author. Here is her website. I know there were several of you who wanted to ask her some more questions, but we ran out of time. Maybe going on her website will answer some of the questions.
