Portland School Promotes "Reading with Families"

When Connie Ortolani saw that Maine Reads through their "Read With ME" initiative was giving all Kindergarten students a copy of "The Cat at Night" by Dahlov Ipcar, she thought that this would be a perfect start to the school year; get families excited about reading to and with their children.   With the assistence of IThe Literacy Specialist, Ann Hanna of the East End Community School, Connie presented the book to all their Kindergarten families.  

What a turn out! 20 families and lots of kids; all were familiar with the story since Connie had already read it to their individual K classes. She gave them a cat picture to color when they got home and they all promised to read the book with their families.

Post Office Mural Restoration
LaFollette Mural
Summer 2005 - from Bill Teaster, Postmaster of LaFollette TN...

"Your mother painted the mural for our lobby in 1939.  We were just commissioned to have our Mural restored due to water damage and overspray of paint when our lobby was repainted.  Elizabeth Parma out of Chicago was commissioned to restore the mural through Dallan Wordekemper who is with the historical preservation society in Washington.  We would love for your mother to be a part of this or at least be aware that it is happening. .... I thought everyone might like to see the Mural during the restoration process. "

Notice the cleaning process. Lo and behold, the hunter's shirt isn't gray - it's white!

In past seasons we've had wonderful fun making up family gifts with Dahlov designs through CafePress.com, so as an experiment, we're throwing it open to the public. Here you'll find t-shirts; kid's t-shirts; tote bags; coffee mugs & even a mouse pad (with a cat on it).

The three designs we've put up are: the cat from Dahlov's book The Cat Came Back; Cats Entwined from an oil painting of the same title; and The Gingham Dog & The Calico Cat - also an oil painting. We've found the quality of CafePress products to be excellent.

Note: Dahlov retains the rights to all reproduction of her images.

What, Dahlov own a computer?

While Dahlov's word processor outlived its own manufacturer - Smith Corona - by a good fifteen years, we've managed to wean her onto an iMac (her second upgrade actually) though only for so long as we call it a word processor. The next big step is e-mail...
Until then, send your comments and queries to:

I'll be happy pass them on to my mom.
