🌈🍀 A mischievous leprechaun visited our preschool classroom and left a trail of chaos behind! Chairs were tipped and tiny green footprints were everywhere! Our curious and clever little learners had a blast discovering the leprechaun’s silly mess and working together to clean up. 💚🌟

Our first Mystery Reader for Elementary today was Rachel Anderson, author of The Puppy Predicament and Lagatha's Curse! Students enjoyed hearing the first chapter of "The Puppy Predicament" and asking questions to Rachel about writing and what it takes to become an author. Of course, we got to see some cute puppies too! 🐶 Rachel Anderson is a great author for young readers. We thank her for volunteering her time to share the love of reading with our students. If your family would like a copy of her books, they can be found at the links below. https://a.co/d/giDDOEh https://a.co/d/5jA2Kzo
