Last Week's Polar Express

Finally uploading pics! :)
Here are some pics from the Polar Express our amazing PTO set up!

Enjoying hot cocoa and cookies in our PJ's while the Conductor reads to us.

(notice the lights on the train!)

Our PTO knows how to have fun, the snowmen are sliding down the hill!
PLUS who doesn't love going to work in their Pajamas?

Author Visit!

The wonderful author Lucy Coats came to visit our school today!
She is a brilliant woman full of life and passion for her work. It was great to hear her read aloud "King Ocean's Flute" a story she wrote for the younger kids. There really is nothing better than listening to a story being read by the one who created it, with all the right voices and emotions, just as it was before it was ever written down.
She did a session with K-2 and then another session with 3-6 so our class was split, I was able to go to the K-2 edition, but unfortunetly missed the 3-6 session, which from what I heard from the kids at recess was focused more on her book "Atticus The Storyteller's 100 Greek Myths" which would have been wonderful to hear but I was able to purchase a copy of the book and get her to sign it for me! YAY!

Here is her site if any of you are interested in checking her work out. Lucy Coats
