Jude’s mom and dad came to read to our class. They read Rainbow Fish in English and Arabic! The students’ really enjoyed hearing both languages! They also brought rainbow goldfish and some yummy chocolate chip cookies to share with the class! Jude’s little sister Laila was a big hit too!
Amin’s mom came and read, I Love You, Stinky Face! which made everyone laugh… a lot! She also read The Best Mouse Cookie and gave each one a bakery fresh chocolate chip cookie!
What a great surprise we got on our way back from outside time! Pete the Cat stopped us in the hallway to say hello and encourage us to keep on reading!! Thank you to Mrs. Suleiman from room 111.
Mr. Mustonen, Communications Director for Dearborn Public Schools, came in and read to a few classes here at Cotter! The students (and staff) really enjoyed his enthusiasm and the stories! Thank you!
We had so much fun with beach day! We all laid out our beach towels or blankets from the dress up area and we drew in our journals! Everyone drew about going to the beach! We even listened to some fun beach music!
