Pete the Cat - Live and in person

What a fun day! Thank you Bridgeview PTA for 
allowing us to have a visit from Pete the cat.

Kindergartners, 1st graders and T2Kers piled into the library in anticipation of seeing Pete. When he walked in, there was a gasp from the crowd. "There he his!"

We started by reading out loud Pete's newest book, Pete the Cat and the New Guy. A fun story about making new friends, with the message "Everyone has something they can do." 

Then we danced and sang with Pete for the rest of the time. Afterwards, some students got brave enough to ask Pete some questions:

• Do you like frogs? (Pete does and that made Edgar happy)
• Do you like to read?
• Is your favorite color pink?

Finally, each class got to take a picture with Pete to hang up in their classroom: a reminder of the day.

But the best part about the day? We all got to celebrate the joy of reading! We got excited about books! And, hopefully, we created a memory that connects students to reading.
