I am reading to my son's preschool class today!!!
This is a first for me and while I read aloud everyday, several times to a class full of first graders, this audience today seems special. My little guy and his peers. My son, old enough to have a guest reader. My little monkey and his pals. His teachers. Oh, I had almost forgotten about them!
I.am.nervous.
I'll be reading one of our favorites, Monster at the End of This Book. I feel like I can't go wrong with that one! I have so many what ifs though.
What if they have all heard it and get bored?
What if the teacher covering my own class can't cover it while I go?
What if T cries when I leave?
What ifs and all, I am really excited and so is he. Today is a special day. The first of many I hope!
UPDATE! It was awesome! I had the best time. The kids LOVED the books (I took Eric Carle's Ten Little Ducks, too!) T was super excited and proud, which made me the happiest mommy in the whole wide world!!!
Read from the heart and you will be terrific!
ReplyDeleteI hope it went fantastically well! The book is a great choice, they will love it even if it's a repeat.
ReplyDeleteHope you had a great time! I agree with Chris, some books can be repeated again and again and again!
