The Newbery Challenge: Flora and Ulysses

Wow! It has been a long time since Mr. Colby Sharp and I have posted a Newbery Challenge video. Thankfully, we filmed the 2014 video together.

  2. You know, I can hardly believe that over the past couple years (largely because of you, then because of clicking links upon links, I've actually watched EVERY video of Kate that's posted here! Loved them ALL :)

    And the one with you and Colby actually got me choked up. I already posted on his blog saying how I should start calling you "Barbara" and "Walters"! ;)
