I have a not so secret passion for reading and books in general, so I freaked out a little when my principal told me the news. I passed on the excitement to my students, but I think my excitement might have surpassed theirs. A whole day devoted to books! You know I love seeing what my students are reading and celebrating with them when they finish a book. They love to check up on my reading progress and try to guess how many pages I read the night before. Book Day had an extra portion of celebrating books including:
Book show and tell
Reading buddies with the younger graders
All of elementary having D.E.A.R. (drop everything and read) time together
 |
| Our favorite books and character costumes (that's my Jane Austen bonnet)! |
 |
| Normal classroom chaos |
 |
| Percy Jackson and the Olympians Series is big in my class this year. These students are rocking their "Camp Half-Blood" t-shirts. |
I love when they are reading!
Now you know how I felt when you was but a tad........
