Yesterday the second grade class received a big box of brand new books from a Christian School in Michigan. It's always exciting to get new books, and since my second graders love to read, having a larger selection to choose from will make the last four weeks of this year way more exciting. It was just rather strange for me, being on the receiving end of something like that. In the past I've been involved in that type of thing more than once, and now to be getting a box of books for my own class, and thinking of ways to show them my (our) appreciation is different...but in an exciting way.
I was overjoyed as we opened the box to find one of my favorite books as a kid "The Story of Ferdinand"! It was a book that I had been particularly wanting in my classroom, and I was also excited to read it aloud to the kids this morning. As I read it I put on a Spanish accent, and the kids found the story very entertaining!
Anyway, we've had some fun making thank you cards, and taking pictures to send back to the generous school. I thought that I'd share some with you'll as they are pretty adorable pictures...or perhaps I'm just biased because they're my kids!
