I loaded up my truck this morning with the usual items: laptop, things to be laminated, newly purchased books, and cucumbers for the secretaries! I was excited and a little nervous about the start of Summer Reading club and I don't know why I felt like that because it was all my usual kids! So, I went to the Municipal Branch of the Public Library and got two bags of great titles for the kids and then headed to school. Once the kids arrived, it was like school never ended! They were so happy to be at school with me and it was then that it hit me: I forgot the brownies!!
I found a new title called The Fourth Stall and used that as my read-aloud. The public library gave me "the power" to give out library cards, so we completed applications and then they selected a book to read. You know, the kids at my school are different from other kids because they voluntarily came to summer reading club. No one made them a lunch and sent them on their way, or reminded them it was time for reading. They knew I would be there and they came from all different directions just to be a part of something. Anyway, it went really well and next week I will come prepared with water bottles and PB&J sandwiches! No one will go hungry again!
