Polka Dot Pants Dance Contest Winner

Welcome to Pre-K Pages!

I’m Vanessa Levin, a curriculum writer, early childhood teacher, consultant, public speaker, and author. I help busy Pre-K and Preschool teachers plan effective and engaging lessons, create fun, playful learning centers, and gain confidence in the classroom.

Pre-K Pages was honored to partner with Eric Litwin, author of Sing and Dance in Your Polka-Dot Pants, to announce the Polka-Dots Pants Dance Contest. We’re equally thrilled today to help Eric announce the winners of the contest!

Polka-Dot Pants Dance Contest

The following is a message from Eric

Thank you to everyone involved in the Polka-Dot Pants Dance Contest. The contest was a HUGE success with 80 videos entered, because of YOU!

Thank you to all the extraordinary students. (We estimate that over 20,000 children participated!)

Thank you amazing teachers, fun principals, extraordinary librarians, three town mayors, and even the First Lady of Tennessee!

Thank you to our 20 tireless volunteers who helped to judge and give wonderful compliments to each and every video.

Polka-Dot Pants Dance Winner

Our judges have selected a Grand-prize winner, and 11 Finalists. This was so hard because every video was awesome, heartfelt, and full of fun.

Our Grand-prize winner will receive a free visit from me!

Our Finalists will each receive a copy of my latest book, The Nuts: Sing and Dance in Your Polka-Dot Pants, signed by myself and Scott Magoon.

All 80 entries will receive a signed contest poster.

And, we encourage teachers to distribute the Certificate of ACHIEVENUT to their students.

We want each child to know that their effort was worthwhile!

Thank you again for your extraordinary submissions to the Polka Dot Pants Dance Contest!

Sincerely,

Eric Litwin (nutty author)
