Every Thursday I read to Cooper's 1st grade class. It is only for 15-20 minutes, but they really seem to enjoy it and Mrs. Stone is so thankful every time I come in. Today when I went into Cooper's class, about 10 of the children came up and gave me a hug. Which seems a little awkward, because they are at the height that they are hugging my belly for the most part. Personally, I think they just like hugging a pregnant tummy!
While I am reading, inevitably, 2-3 of them will raise their hand so I will call on them. They always have this excited, I'm about to burst, expression on their face. I fall for it every time. I think that they are about to tell me something somewhat relevant to the story I am reading. No, not usually the case. Here are a few of the questions or comments that I get:
"Umm, Mrs. Nohinek? I saw a turtle on the sidewalk last week. It was green and brown and it went all into it's shell when I tried to pick it up and..."
"Ummm, Mrs. Nohinek? I saw 4 different Santa Clauses while we were out of school. Isn't that neat?"
"Ummm, excuse me, but I saw snow fall on Christmas. It was white and the snowflakes were so pretty. Did you see it too?"
Yep, every time I call on someone I think this time will be different. Not so much. They are an entertaining bunch of kiddos, I must say that!
