This Tuesday, February 14, I will be in Kanawha. On Thursday, I will meet with 3 classes: K-Geelan will listen to Hokey Pokey: Another Prickly Love Story written by Lisa Wheeler and illustrated by Janie Bynum; 4-Hildman will practice their keyboarding skills in the computer lab; and 2-Glawe will watch the video of Miss Rumphius based on the book written by Barbara Cooney.

Read! Read! Read!
