We were excited to hear about her family, friends, and especially her dog Bella. We also were very interested in her hobbies and many of us realized we had similar likes as her! Some of the student's even recognized former teachers or summer school teachers who are also Mrs. Johnson's very good friends.
Mrs. Johnson plans on visiting our classroom often. As a literacy coach she is here to help all the student's learn how to become better readers and writers. She is also help here to guide me through the process of becoming an even better teacher of reading and writing. She told the class how a coach is someone who helps you, who teaches you knew things, but also encourages you when you feel down or frustrated. What a great way to think about teaching!! This is truly what we are doing ~ coaching everyone through the learning process! This is going to be a very exciting process for us all!

One of the best parts of the day was discussing how important reading and writing is....it is so important I put the classroom library right in the very center of the room. I told the student's how I wanted to "think outside the box" in creating very best learning environment for them. One of my student's raised their hand and said, "It's not thinking outside the box...it is thinking outside the books!!" Mrs. Johnson and I thought this was a great connection and I had to write it on the board! I am delighted to have this opportunity and I know the student's will benefit from it!
