From Drop Everything & Read Pajama Days to raffling book prizes...our school really does a outstanding job enriching students with the LOVE of reading. I literally have to ask students to put books away while walking in line and during math time because they are all obsessed about them. It's a beautiful thing.
Somehow our school was able to get Dav Pilkey, author of The Captain Underpants series to come for an authors visit. We were the only school in California that he chose. He gave each student a copy of his new book Dogman as well as reading capes.
His presentation was awesome. He talked about his childhood, his success and failures, and shared his creative process. He shared about having ADHD and how he was one of those students who never fit into the classroom structure. This made me think about all of my students who have a hard time in class and how I can best make our classroom a place where they can thrive and be empowered as well.
