When I first started working at the Hills, I learned to never take things for granted. For example, I thought everyone knew this story. I mean, it's a classic for Heaven's sake!
Well, I was wrong. I chalk it up to their age, but my 6 year olds didn't know this story. So, when we read 'Twas the Night Before Thanksgiving, my students had no prior knowledge to make connections.
When we read The Night Before Christmas in class on Wednesday, my students did make a connection. It went like this, "Mrs. Delk, this story is just like 'Twas the Night Before Thanksgiving'!" You know what, a connection is a connection. I'm proud they remembered!
The reader for today has been one of my favorite teachers at the Hills for years. She was one of my second grade team members before she became a Lead Teacher, and now she is on the third grade team. (And no matter what grade she taught, she was always available to answer questions and help me out! See why she's a favorite?!)
Welcome to the Readers Club... Mrs. Wann! I have had Mrs. Wann on my list of readers for over a month now. I knew that I had to save her reading talents for just the right book. So, today I have her reading the classic holiday tale of The Night Before Christmas!
