Welcome to the blog for Owney, the Mail-Pouch Pooch

Hello! Owney was a dog who loved to see the world. In this blog, we’ll follow Owney’s lead, but we’ll all do it safely at home. Ready? Let’s travel.

Suggested Blog Activities: (1) tell what you liked about the book, (2) flag the map where OWNEY, THE MAIL-POUCH POOCH has been read, (3) ask questions and write answers, and (4) practice friendly letter writing.

When you post, you don’t have to type in your full name or email address. If you make a mistake, you can edit or delete your entry.

Below is a three-minute video I made about what Owney might have seen when he was alive. If your browser blocks YouTube.com, then please see a version I’ve posted at TeacherTube.com.
