The Book Fairy

Hey guys, as promised I'm writing about the great day we had today at your school.  Thanks so much for being great listeners. 

Kinder through 2nd graders really like Bubble Gum!!  I hope you don't have a terrible, horrible, no good very bad day for the rest of the school year. (Bubble Gum, Bubble Gum by Lisa Wheeler and Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day by Judith Viorst were the books we read.)

3rd through 5th was so tired from their field day, I thought they would go to sleep on me!  But they didn't.  We had a lot of fun doing tongue twisters from Dr. Seuss' Fox in Socks, and reading "The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs" by A. Wolf (Jon Scieszka).

Remember to work on getting a super strong, super fast monster truck brain over the summer.  NO POTATO BRAINS!!!!

See you next year and happy reading.

The Book Fairy

Hello to all my new friends at Coronado Elementary in Judson ISD!  I had a great time with all of you amazing AR readers.  I am really proud of all your hard work.  Keep it up, you need to have that super fast brain working for you!

I am very sure that you are the reason the San Antonio area has been having all this cold weather this week    I think Mother Nature also with Old Man Winter was trying their hardest to have real snow for your snowball fight!  I don't think the clouds were cooperating.    But if there is not real snow, I guess a paper snow ball fight is the next best thing.

I'm so glad I got to meet all of you and I'll be watching to see if you use the magic I've given you.  Thank you for the invitation to your Royal Reading Party, it was wonderful.

Happy Reading!

Well, I owe another apology to my friends at Elm Creek Elementary School. I told you I would write about all the fun we had at your Reading Night, then I had computer problems.  Anyway, I finally got things fixed and was able to write about all the fun we had on November 16 at your school. 

I couldn't believe how many families came out for our reading event!  You had such a big crowd.  It made it very exciting.  I could tell you were having fun, because you had a lot to say.  I thought you did a wonderful job with the tongue exercises and tongue twiters with "Bubble Gum, Bubble Gum" by Lisa Wheeler.  But you made a mean sounding Wolf in "The True Story of the Three Little Pigs" by Jon Scieska. 

I hope you had as much fun as I did.  I thought it was great that your school gave out books and even had games for you to play too.

I hope you keep up all the good work with your reading.  You promised!!

By the way, I found out some really special kids were sick that night (I think they are related to the Principal somehow?)  I sprinkled lots of magic all over your school, so you'll have lots of good books to read.  Maybe we can meet in person sometime. 

Happy Reading!

Hello, there to all my new friends at Canyon Ridge Elementary!

Hello to Ms. Cantu and Ms. Hammond and Ms. Evans and Ms. Lopez and Ms.Querry and Ms. Rausch and  Ms.Sylvester's classes!  All you Kindergarteners are super great! 

I had a lot of fun today visiting all your classes and I hope you did too.  Your literacy bag reading project sounds like super fun.  I hope you do a really good job this week with all those great books you will be reading. 

Make sure you tell your parents that you are working to have a super fast, super strong monster -truck brain.  NO POTATO BRAINS at Canyon Ridge.

Happy Reading!! 

Wow,  I had such a great time on Friday, October 22 at your school.  I heard we had about 175 moms, dads, and kids there to have fun at the Early Childhood Literacy Night.  What could be funner than talking about reading, reading books, eating delicious cookies and lemonade?  PLUS, every single family  taking a free book home!! 

I wanted to list which books we read, in case you wanted to check them out of your library and read them again.  (I never get tired of reading good books.)  Here they are:

"The Amazing Pig" by Paul Galdone

"Alice the Fairy" by David Shannon

"Princess Pigsty" by Cornelia Funke, illustrated by Kerstin Meyer

and "The LIttle Red Hen" from "Eight Favorite Fairy Tales" by Lucy Cousins

You guys did a great job of talking like a king, and making the animal sounds, and just being great listeners! 

I hope you keep up all your hard work.  I would love to hear from you, so write me if you get a chance! 

Happy Reading!

Wow, what a great night!!  I had so much fun meeting all the great students and teachers at Woodlawn Elementary.  I saw some incredible stuff going on - free books to take home,  puppets to tell stories,  great books being read, and so much more.  It was at ton of fun and I was really happy to get to come and see your wonderful school.  Thanks to Ms. Sisson and Ms. Benavidez for the invitation to come. 

By the way, you did a great job helping me read "Alexander and the Terrible Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day"  That is such a fun book and one of my favorites. 

Take care,  Remember to use your super fast, super strong monster truck brains.  NO POTATO brains!! 

Happy Reading!

I'm so excited that the First Grade teachers at Park Village Elementary have invited me to come visit their classes.  I'm really looking forward to all the fun we are going to have this week. 

I can't wait to meet all of you.  I've heard from a pretty good source that you guys are super kids.  I'm going to be there to spread some of my Book Fairy magic, so you all can be even better readers.  Plus, I want you to have lots of good books to read!

See you soon & Happy Reading!

Hello to all my new friends at the Holy Spirit Catholic School in San Antonio, Texas.  You have a great school.  I had such a good time reading with all of you.  I was so sorry that one of the kindergarten classes had to leave early and missed out on the bookmark magic.  Maybe we will meet again another time!

I hope you liked all the books that we read.  You guys made great apes and alligators!  And the first and second graders were ALMOST as good as I am at Fox in Socks tongue twisters. 

Remember your promise to read over the summer!  NO couch potato brains when you get back to school.  Finish the year strong and have a great summer break.

Happy Reading!!

I just wanted to say to all my friends at the Somerset ISD Early Childhood Center.  I had a great time on Friday reading with all of you.  That was a huge rain storm wasn't it?  I was glad we were inside and dry and having fun, even if it was rainy.

I hope you liked all the books we read.  Here are the titles and authors in case you want to read them again:

Yoo Hoo, Moon by Mary Blocksma, Illustratred by Petience Brewster (wasn't that cat the funniest thing you ever saw?  I can't believe he slept through all the noise!)

I Love you Stinky Face by Lisa McCourt, Illustrated by Cyd Moore

Four Fierce Kittens  by Joyce Dunbar, Illustrated by Jakki Wood ( you guys made some great farm animal sounds.)

Animal Go Round by Johnny Morris

I hope all of you keep your promise to read over the summer!  Remember:  NO COUCH POTATO BRAINS!  Work on those super strong, super fast, monster truck brains.

It was great to meet you.  Hope to see you again soon.

Happy Reading!:tongue:
