Today is World Kindness Day! On this day that looks a little dreary outside, I hope you are finding joy in the little faces on your screens and that love and kindness comes your way today. This is not an easy time to be an educator or just a person navigating this world. Sending virtual hugs your way.
Also, I want to be sure that you know as much as we love our work, your people are the most important. I am here to support you. If you need to take care of family, the answer is always yes, at a moment's notice, and if you need help with anything please let me know.
Robin Preiss Glasser is coming to Waggoner this Wednesday!
9:10-9:50 TK / K ZOOM
10:00-11:00 1st and 2nd grade ZOOM
I have ordered 16 hardback copies of Escape Goat, plus 60 assorted paperback Fancy Nancy Books and I will draw one name per class who attends for Escape Goat and 20 random names per grade of the Fancy Nancy paperbacks. The Zoom link is below, and also in the teacher/staff calendar. I have also emailed you some images and pdfs to send to families. They are also linked here: TK/K or 1st and 2nd.
All students will get a Laura Numeroff book when she visits in December.
Robin Preiss Glasser visit details below:
From Robin: Since The TK/K group is shorter and they're little, I won't take questions, I'll just show them my slides which have pictures to look at and then read the book Escape Goat to them. If they want to do a project ahead of time, they can show me what they made, and I will ooh and ahh, and everyone can take photos of their screens. One school had all the little ones color on napkins to make kerchiefs and the kids held those up for me to see. Or they can just draw pictures of goats or lambs or their favorite farm animal and hold those up for me to see.***For 1st and 2nd grades, here is a video of me reading the book to share!***
From Robin: The 2nd session is longer and they are older. I'd love them to read the book ahead of time (Escape Goat) and be prepared with questions for me about the themes in the book, like telling the truth, and taking responsibility if you make a mistake. Or they can just ask me questions about making books. It's good if they have prepared a question ahead of time and the host (is that you?) can call on them so there is some order to it. ***Please have kids prepare questions - you can choose one from your class to send me and I will call on as many per grade as I have time for--- Jennifer
