Raggedy ann stories6/9/2023 ![]() ![]() Gruelle began writing and illustrating stories starring Marcella and her beloved doll, and continued to add to that canon after his daughter died at 13 after an illness. Gruelle and his wife, Myrtle, spruced up the doll for Marcella, giving her facial features and inscribing the message, “I love you,” within the doll’s newly drawn heart. According to family lore, his young daughter, Marcella, stumbled upon a well-worn, faceless rag doll while exploring her grandparents’ attic sometime before 1914. Raggedy Ann had her beginnings in a heartwarming, if bittersweet, chapter of Gruelle’s life. First published in the early 2000s, these reissues feature refreshed interior art and new covers reflecting the updated look of the early-reader line. Also due out are new editions of six Ready-to-Read books from Simon Spotlight. These include facsimile 100th-anniversary editions of Gruelle’s original picture-book anthologies, Raggedy Ann Stories and Raggedy Andy Stories, and The Raggedy Ann 100th Anniversary Treasury, a large-format picture book that compiles five of Gruelle’s original tales and new illustrations by Jan Palmer, all from Little Simon. ![]() Next month Simon & Schuster is commemorating the milestone with a varied lineup of releases starring Raggedy Ann and her similarly spunky brother, Raggedy Andy. Raggedy Ann has endeared herself to young readers for a century – both as a rag doll toy with button eyes and red yarn hair and as the character of a bounty of stories by the late Johnny Gruelle (1880–1938). ![]()

After each person shares, the class watches as the chain grows. As they share, students use a stapler to create a link in the paper chain. On the other side of the sentence strip the student writes one of his/her weaknesses. On one side of the sentence strip the student writes one of his/her strengths (academic or personal). We believe firmly in “going deeper.” This includes developing students’ sense of self-love, acceptance and understanding of classmates, and strengthening listening skills in order to promote comfortable, safe learning spaces.ĬHAIN OF STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES – Students use sentence strips. Many of these activities are centered on getting to know each other. ![]() Most teachers spend some portion of the school year, especially early in the year, doing community building activities. ![]() |
