NYC 4th grade love

Hoping you and your family are well. I’m using “Shiloh” for my last distance learning novel with my fourth graders. We’ll be having several “story time” Zoom sessions, where I’ll be reading Shiloh to them. I’d love to send you an invite! You made my students so happy last year with an incredible poster and paw prints on their letters. We are huge fans!

It’s very special when a teacher reads a book aloud to a class.  There’s just something about being able to lean back, close your eyes, and get lost in a story that is very special–even more special than reading it yourself.  The happiest part of my childhood was when my father read Huckleberry Finn to us, a new chapter every evening.  I could hardly wait. We wanted more Mark Twain, and more….  I’m sorry that I’m not set up for Zoom.  If you saw my work space, you’d understand.  Give your students my best wishes!
