First Reading Week

So this past week was Reading Week at school. We spent the week doing different activities to celebrate reading. On Thursday, the assistant principal asked me and 2 of the other 5th grade teachers to be the "Mystery Readers" which meant that we had to read a book over the intercom in the morning and then the students had to guess who we were. All of the 5th grade classes except one were able to guess it along with a few 4th grades. It was super fun and the kids had a great time with it. On Friday, all of the 5th grade teachers decided to dress up like the characters from the Wizard of Oz.






I was the Good Witch. We performed a shortened version of the play for the students and they had no idea we were going to do it. A few parents also came in throughout the week to be Guest Readers. Some of them were very nervous and it was so cute. The kids enjoyed listening to someone else rather than me all the time and most parents brought some kind of treat which was a plus! The rest of the week was pretty standard and same old same old. I felt like such a performer though between the reading over the intercom and acting out the play haha. On Wednesday, one of my students asked me to go to his lake house for the weekend so that leads me to my next first....
