A very well thought out, intricate time machine by Nihaa Somashekar, kindergartner in Ms. Koney’s class.
Nihaa very well said! "Reading takes you on a journey!" I see you have taken a lot of time in creating this bookmark. You have cut out shapes, filled in so many different colors and outlined each part. Love the green wire on top depicting energy. Hope you continue your journey of reading and encounter many adventures!

The year is 3014! And our Alien friends have been able to crack the "cosmic map" to locate Earth that we sent in our Voyager! Aanya Suneja, second grader in Ms.Tucker's class has captured the scene so well! Aanya, I like the placement of the yellow stars and you have balanced the red color so well with the red planet of the aliens and the caption in red. Your aliens look so happy and friendly. Read about the voyager and potential life in the Universe. Check out our virtual book fair at www.scholastic.com/bf/dutchneckschool

If you are looking for a Time Machine to take you places please hire one from Srishti Jain! Shristi, a second grader in Ms. Babcock's class has designed a very efficient Time machine that is so time-sensitive that it can take you to any minute or second in past or future. Love the placement of the clocks and the half-cut design. In art, we don't always have to show the full picture to depict something. And Srishti has mastered that well! Learn about art techniques from books at our virtual book fair at www.scholastic.com/bf/dutchneckschool

Kyna Sood, a first grader in Mrs. Mattingly's class has taken her time machine to the year 2050 when the Spacex Mars Mission would be up and running and humans would travel in its Starship back and forth from Mars for vacation! Wouldn't that be something! Love the shading of the fuel fire and the perspective Kyna has used with Mars at the bottom and the Starship flying high! 📘🧑🚀👨🚀Buy books on space and famous astronauts at www.scholastic.com/bf/dutchneckschool

Seek and you shall find in the labyrinth of spider webs and fall-colored leaves an old Time Machine! Prahlad Koushik, a third grader in Ms. Bailin's class has created a very artistic Picasso-style bookmark with a Halloween theme! So creative! Love the way you think Prahlad! Read about famous artists, check out our virtual book fair at

Astounding piece of machinery! Great job Nithya in cutting out the shape so uniformly! It is not easy to cut along curved paths. Nithya Akkineni, kindergartener in Mrs. Faulkner's class has used beautiful, bright colors with wormhole and planet drawn on it. Looks like this time machine can travel through wormholes and reach far, flung places in the Universe in few seconds! Just like Nithya's time machine, reading can take you wherever you want to go. So go ahead and checkout books at www.scholastic.com/bf/dutchneckelementaryschool by October 25th!

Stella Reckdenwald, kindergartener in Dra Warren's class has made the coolest rendition of baby Yoda! Stella great job on coloring and highlighting the outlines. Also, your Yoda looks like it's flying just like the original. This is what Yoda would say, 'Very creative this bookmark is. Go anywhere we can when books we read!" www.scholastic.com/bf/dutchneckschool
Proud mama!

Wow! Our very own Dexter is going on a Time Machine! I am sure Dexter is missing all his friends at Dutch Neck and would take the Time Machine to 2019 when life was as we knew it! Shrika Rout Roy, a third grader in Ms. Dailey's class has sketched Dexter so well. Shrika, I love the dialogue boxes and time machine capsule. Great job! Dexter is really enjoying the virtual 360 view of the Dutch Neck book fair! Check it out at on the homepage at www.scholastic.com/bf/dutchneckschool
