Reading Week Fun!

This week is Nevada Reading Week and Jantzen's school does a lot of celebrating for it. One of the things the kids got to enjoy was story time with Ronald McDonald. The kids were so excited to see him, except for Jaedyn. This was as close as she wanted to get to him...

   She eventually warmed up and by the time he was done reading all of his books, she decided to be brave and go up to say "hi" to him...      Jantzen's class was lucky because they were one of only three classes that Ronald went to visit personally before he left. Ronald read the class a few more stories before heading off to the next class.      I think Jaedyn had had enough of story time with Ronald because all she wanted to do was paint. Jantzen's teacher, Ms. Myers, is really good about letting Jaedyn paint, color, and play with puzzles while she's there.      Before Ronald had to leave, I got some fun pictures of him with Jantzen's class...          ...and one of Ronald with just Jantzen and his best friend JoseAlfredo...      The kids really had a good time hanging out with Ronald McDonald.    Jantzen's class also got into the reading week spirit and decided to decorate their classroom door. They chose the book "Green Eggs and Ham" as their theme...      Jantzen painted both of these "Cat in the Hats"...       ...and he was asked to draw the train from the book...       He did an awesome job on all of it, especially the train!
