Today we had not one but TWO special birthday celebrations, Jacob and Lily!! Today was Jacob’s “official” birthday and Lily had her special celebration today for her birthday on Friday! Jacob’s mom, dad and brother Zach came in this morning and read two special books with us. Jacob shared one of his favorite stories, Harold and the Purple Crayon. I was not surprised that such a budding artist would love this book so much. It was great to see how engaged the class was with the story and a few children picked purple canyons out to color with later in the day!
Lily ‘s Mom Amy came in at the end of the day and also shared books with us. One of the books, Winkin Blinkin and Nod, was a book that Amy had when she was young and now reads to Lily. It is a lovely story with beautiful illustrations. The book was created from a poem and since then there has also been a song written to the same lyrics. After Amy read the story she played us the song on her phone. The class was mesmerized! it was so sweet that Lily and her mom shared such a treasure with our class.
Happy Birthday Jacob and Lily! It was wonderful to spend the day celebrating you and your birthdays today!
