Week 2:
I have been waiting all week to share these pictures. Last Friday, Jason was able to make a special appearance in Kalyssa’s classroom as a “guest” reader. We decided to show up a little early so that we could sit with her while she ate her lunch. We waited for her in the hallway that leads to the cafeteria. When she turned the corner with her class, she was very surprised to see us. We could both tell that she wanted to run up to us. She was so great at keeping herself calm, cool, and collected :)
We sat at her class table and chatted with her and some of her friends about school. As you can see in the pictures, she couldn’t stop smiling.
She was on cloud 9. Daddy doesn’t get to make surprise visits to school very often so this was extra special for her.
After lunch, we walked back to her classroom. Her teacher introduced us and explained that Kalyssa’s Daddy was going to read the class a story. He was the first special guest reader for her class. I have to say that my smile was bright as I watched Jason sit on the reading rocking chair with the kids sitting around him. Kalyssa sat quietly on the class bean bag watching her daddy as he read one of her favorite stories. She was beaming the whole time. I don’t think her smile ever left her face :)
Kalyssa and her class made a one of a kind card for their special guest reader.
Happy Thursday!
Daddies and daughters ... does it get any better? So glad you captured these memories and smiles. What a great little classroom program too!
