Read Across America

In honor of Dr. Suess's birthday this week and Read Across American, Will's teacher asked parents if they'd like to come in read. And we both got to read to Will's class. Very fun.

A couple of highlights:

- Will completely ignored the fact that we were there. I thought it was a good sign that he was prepared for us to be there. Scott was a little hurt.

- A few of the kids recognized Scott as their coach from t-ball, flag football or soccer. One didn't even seem to remember playing flag football, let alone Coach Scott.

- The kids came in after outside recess, took their boots off in the hallway and walked into the classroom to put their shoes on. One girl told me, "Isn't it perfectly silly that we walk into the classroom every day in just our socks?" Perfectly silly. I've been trying to find a way to use that in a sentence ever since.

Here's a couple of pictures. Scott took a couple of me so Will's teacher told me I'd better take some of him.
