Book share

Tonight was the book share at Libby's school. The book share is where the children volunteer to write and illustrate their own book and then they are broken in to small groups through different classrooms at the school to read their books in front of a group of mixed grade students and their parents. She participated in it last year and I was so proud of my shy little Libby voluntering to read a book she wrote in front of a group of mixed grade children. This year she decided to do it again. She wrote another short book (the title is The USA is a Great Country!) and I'm so proud of her for getting back up there and doing it again this year. There were about 10 children in her group ranging in age from 1st grade to 5th grade. Libby was the youngest (again!) in the group. Just before the book share started we ran into her Kindergarten teacher who stopped and talked with us and then she had Libby read her the book. Then we saw Libby's current teacher (pictured above) who stopped and talked to us for a bit, too.

Today was also the last day of Libby's art class that she goes to every Thursday after school. She was sad that the classes are over...but they will be offered again in the fall when she starts 2nd grade (geez, 2nd grade??!!??) so she is already counting down the five months until the next classes begin!
