Tooty Ta, Guest Reader and much more!

Hey y'all! Have I got a treat for you! Let me introduce you to the Tooty Ta! My firsties and I like to celebrate my favorite day of the week, FRIDAY, by doin' a little dance! Fridays bring such joy and excitement that we end the day dancing to the Tooty Ta. Take a look...

Isn't that just HILARIOUS??! And don't think Miss Axton doesnt get in on doing the Tooty Ta! I'm considering doing it as my first dance at my wedding! ;)

Another Friday Celebration is our Secret Reader! Last week we had  Mrs. Tekell, I mean "Holliakula" come to our class to read! Mrs. Tekell, Holliakula just got back from an amazing trip to Maui! Take a look at our secret reader! She came in costume and all! The kids were AMAZED!

Showing us a map of her trip!

Holliakula started off by asking a few questions about Hawaii to see what the kiddos already know. Here's a little of how the conversation went. I hope you find these answers as amusing as I did...
Q: Does anyone know an important person that was born in Hawaii?
Unnamed Student: Lady Gaga
Mrs. Tekell....well, I was thinking about President Obama!

Q: Does anyone know the capital of Hawaii?
Unnamed Student: Hallelujah?
Mrs. Tekell...close, Honolulu!

Q:Does anyone know the state fish of Hawaii?
Entire Class:...........
Mrs. Tekell: Humuhumunukunukuapua'a!!!
(Say that 10 times fast!)

The kids had so much fun learning and reading about Hawaii! We can't wait for our next secret reader!!
