Share the Love of Reading

A few days before our winter break began, Stranahan held a special day to celebrate reading. Teachers around the building each had a different way to celebrate the day. Some teachers invited a special guest reader, some classes partnered with other classes, and a few classes performed a reader's theater. In our classroom, we had parents, aunts, uncles, and grandparents come and share the afternoon with us. The students and their special guests brought books, blankets, and stuffed animals to enjoy while they read. Drinks, snacks, and cookies were also provided for the students and guests. There was a spectacular turnout and the students loved every minute of it! It was great to have all of our guests in the classroom that day to show the students how important reading is and to share that love of reading!

Frosting Cookies with Mrs. Good

To help us prepare for the winter party, Mrs. Good brought in cookies, frosting, and sprinkles. Each student had five cookies to decorate. The class had a great time putting their own personal touch on each of the treats. It was safe to say that nearly every sprinkle that Mrs. Good had brought that day ended up on a cookie! The students were able to sample two of the cookies that day, save two of the cookies for the party, and each student gave me one of the cookies as a gift to eat over the holiday break. They were delicious! I want to send a special thanks to Mrs. Good for taking the time to prepare all the cookies, make the frosting, and buy the sprinkles!
