Because of Winn-Dixie

Amanda did an amazing job hosting the Winn-Dixie book party!

About the book

One summer’s day, ten-year-old India Opal Buloni goes down to the local supermarket for some groceries—and comes home with a dog. But Winn-Dixie is no ordinary dog. It’s because of Winn-Dixie that Opal begins to make friends. And it’s because of Winn-Dixie that she finally dares to ask her father about her mother, who left when Opal was three. In fact, as Opal admits, just about everything that happens that summer is because of Winn-Dixie. This updated edition of Kate DiCamillo’s classic novel invites readers to make themselves at home—whether they’re experiencing the book for the first time or returning to an old favorite.

Activities

Amanda put a lot of thought into the book and had students create a “mistake tree” to tie up as decorations in the pavilion! Students also played party games like a cake walk and musical chairs with pictures of animals from a pet store!
