Reading at School

I had so much fun reading at Lily's school today!  A few weeks ago, I signed up to be on the Library Committee.  So, once every other week, I get to go to the school at 9:30 to read to a First Grade class.  They were precious!  Today, because a couple of other parent volunteers were unable to come, I stayed and helped the next two classes which was the kindergarten class and Lily's Pre-K class.  It was so much fun!  Lily was so surprised because she didn't know I would be there.  She smiled so big when she saw me.  I read Interrupting Chicken and Kitten's First Full Moon to all three classes.  We had a little extra time with Lily's class, so I also read Make Way for Ducklings.  The kids were also able to check out a book from the library, and Lily picked Dinosaur 1,2,3 and A,B,C.  When she showed me which one she picked, she said "Look Mommy!  It can help Mia too because it shows numbers and letters!"  So sweet to think of her little sister.

The best part though was at the end of our time together, the kids stood up to line back up to return to class.  Without prompting, Lily ran over, gave me a big hug and a kiss and said "Thanks for coming!"
