Reading Time

I've always wanted to get paid for reading a book! Today came close...

I arrived in the class of 5th graders when their teacher was finishing up instructions for the book discussions they were going to do in groups. She asked me to rate their participation in their groups - something that I found a little difficult simply because I knew nobody's name and had no idea what book they were discussing. This was about the hardest thing I did today though.

After this they had music, and then library. Upon returning from the library they had a handwriting assignment, which had already been written on the overhead. They copied it and a student checked it off for the teacher. Then they had silent reading and then they went home. I pretty much sat at the desk and read my book for most of the day. Even when they were in the room they didn't even seem to need me! :)

Sounds like a dream day for you. It's good you always travel with a book. Glad it was a good day.
Love you!!! MOM
