Greetings!
The children were treated to two special events this week! First we enjoyed a delightful (and v hysterical) visit with the author Mr. Peter Brown. He shared pictures with us (including art work from when he was the first graders age!) as well as his first story he wrote (with the help of his mom) and illustrated. His message of working hard and following your passion was inspiring for the children. They particularlly enjoyed seeing his live illustration of one of his characters, Squeak! Delightful fun was had by all!
Here are some pictures from Peter Brown's visit...
Additionally we went to Mrs. Lamb's classroom to view President Barack Obama's Back to School Speech given in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. There was some advanced language in the speech, but the children enjoyed the enthusiasm of the students who were able to see the President live. After the speech we discussed the importance of always doing your best in school!

Peter Brown's book was hilarious! Of course the boys thought that his reference to potty talk was well received!
