Read Across America Week!!!

We had such fun during Read Across America week in our classroom!  What a wonderful celebration!!  We spent the entire week reading classic Dr. Seuss books including Horton Hears a Who, The Cat in the Hat, The Lorax, Wacky Wednesday, Bartholomew and the Oobleck, What Was I Scared Of?, The Sneetches and Hooray for Diffendoofer Day.   The kids had such fun reading these stories, and we had some great class discussions.  The messages found within Dr. Seuss’ books are so powerful, and I loved listening to your amazing children latch on and embrace their themes. 

We also had some spectacular guest readers stop in this week and read to us.  I truly cannot thank each of them enough for taking the time out of their busy schedules to visit our classroom.  The kids had an absolute blast, and they have already requested return visits!!!  THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!

Dr. Kinsey-Barker

Dr. Kinsey-Barker is our area superintendent.  The kids loved having her in our classroom.  In fact, the minute she left, they were begging for me to schedule a return visit!  

Mrs. Taylor 

Mrs. Taylor taught me 4th and 5th grade!!  She is now the assistant principal at Brooks Elementary.  Hands down, Mrs. Taylor was the best teacher I ever had!

Mrs. Bruner

My Mom

I was thrilled that my Mom was able to stop by this year to read, and the kids really enjoyed having her visit.  Hope she can come again soon!!  

Mrs. Roberts 

My Aunt 

It was such a treat to have my precious aunt visit our classroom!  She certainly enchanted the kids!!

  

Mrs. Herb

4th grade teacher at Douglas

Mrs. Herb's class is our book buddy class this year.  The kids had a blast with her!  She is such a wonderful teacher and friend!

Mrs. Spickard 

Magnet Coordinator at Douglas

Mrs. Spickard drops by with her tour groups quite a bit.  It was so incredibly sweet of her to come read to our class.  Like everyone else, they just adored her!  

Mrs. Ramsay

Instructional Resource Teacher at Douglas

Mrs. Ramsay was a huge hit with your children!!  She is one of my absolute favorite people, and she quickly became one of the kids' favorites too!  

To wrap up our celebration, we spent the afternoon making Oobleck!!  And, I must say – what a mess!  But, it was such a fun mess!!  Luckily, my sister, Miss Elizabeth, stopped by to help out! Unfortunately, we didn't get a class picture with Miss Elizabeth, but if you look closely you can spot her in the background in one of these photos.  

As always, thank you so much for your continued support!

Educationally Yours,

Ms. Bruner
