Book Buddies!

Today was the first day of the literacy class I am teaching this semester. It is essentially glorified story time, but if you ask I can give you all kinds of teacher-speak reasons as to how it is making our kids smarter. Most importantly, it is fun!

The book today was "Just For You" by Mercer Mayer- one of my all time favorites. We had a lot of fun with it- games, music, activities. The highlight was the happy face sandwiches we made at the end of class- incorporating elements of the book into snack time, hooray! All of the kids were very creative. Here are some shots of my little food artists.

Seth's sandwich was basically happy...

Rose's was cute and dimply...

And John's was slightly concerned...

Apparently they were all delicious.
