Read Across America...

Today was Read Across America at Katrena's school. The school had volunteer readers come and read to the classes throughout the day and started off the event with a parade. The younger grades did one book for the whole class, Katrena's class did Billy Goats Gruff. In the older grades each of the students were able to pick their own book and could dress up if they wanted too. When Katrena was in Kindergarten in UT, they did this too and she chose to dress up as Matilda, I really wish I had taken a photo of her, she was so cute.

I was able to go to the parade this morning (it lasted all of 10 minutes) and then I was able to be a guest reader for her class. I read My Schools a Zoo and A Bad Case of Stripes. We had a little more time left so the teacher gave me another book about Dragon's to read, but I don't recall the name. They also had two other guest readers in their class that day. One came dressed as a fairy and another brought his guitar and played for them. I was the boring Mom, but that's okay; because as I've mentioned a hundred times the last week, I just love being able to go and participate so often at her school.

Here are some photos from today:

Here are some of the 6th graders, check out Anne of Green Gables (one of my all time favorites), this little girl, well young woman is in my ward here in Arizona. Her costume was great.
