Today I did something that I'll remember forever. I read to Blondie's kindergarten class during lunchtime. My classroom is only about two football fields away, but I would've done it if I were two light years away.
The teacher walked around cutting up the kids' pancakes (they had breakfast for lunch) while I read Kindergarten Rocks! and Must Be Santa. And since my sixth grade class is currently reading Okay for Now, where the main character Doug Swieteck keeps running stats, I thought this was the perfect time to share a few stats from the day:
- Number of kids present: 13
- Number of kids absent: 4
- Number of teachers: 1
- Number of teachers' assistants on lunch break: 1
- Number of books I read: 2
- Number of kids chewing with mouths open: 13 (including Blondie)
- Number of fork & spoon wrapper crinkling sounds I had to read over: at least 4
- Number of listeners: 13
- Number of times I was asked "Are you her daddy?": 1
- Number of minutes it took to read: almost 20
- Number of smiles: too many to count
- Number of days I'd read to them: see previous answer
I bet they loved you!
