Often I have much to say on the magic of a book. Today I cheat and literally let a picture tell a thousand. And then I’ll just add a few . . .

Buddy Reading with the K/1 class happens every Wednesday afternoon. There is real joy in watching my Grade 2/3s bring the magic of books alive for their younger buddies. The boys above are sharing the story of Pigaroons by Arthur Geisert that I read to the class yesterday. Ice sculpting. Air ships. Popcorn balls. Pirate Pigs. Thwarting sabotage attempts. Adventure. Wit. It really couldn’t be much better.

Reading. Talking. Questions. Sharing. Engagement. Not much better at all!
