Floral Street School celebrated Read Across America Day and Dr. Seuss today! Each class had a community reader visit their classroom to share a book with the class. Our class was visited by a friend of mine, Jena Hardy. Jena shared the book
Maybe Something Beautiful by F. Isabel Campoy and Theresa Howell with the class.
We absolutely LOVED the book! It lead to a great discussion about how we could make our own community beautiful. Students talked about smiling at people they saw around town, being kind and helpful to their parents, picking up litter, and hanging up artwork that they have created. At the end of our discussion, we decided that we would make something beautiful by writing positive messages on our school blacktop before classes went out for their lunch recess. We hoped that someone would see these messages and "get their bucket filled" by our words. We hope that we made at least one person's day a bit brighter today with our messages!
