Back when school started I signed up to be a secret reader in Timmy’s class (when you go in and read to the class but none of the kids knows who’s coming in to read until you show up.) Well, we had an extra surprise this year with Jack & Patrick coming in to do the reading! The 1st graders really loved it, Mrs. Powers and Ms. A really loved it too as they were the boys 1st grade teachers!) and the boys & Timmy loved it most of all!

Timmy looks a little excited and proud, huh?Jack read Those Darn Squirrels. Patrick read The Pout Pout Fish (which is fitting cause we often call him Poutrick when he’s in a pissy mood. My favorite line in the book is when the other fish are telling the pout pout fish that he’s being a ‘kalidiscope of mope’. Oh yeah, we use that around here too!) Timmy sold Patrick right out at that part. Patrick and Mrs. Powers. Cannot even believe that they are within inches of the same height. We loooooove Mrs. Powers- she’s an amazing teacher!It’s like 1st grade all over again. Except with much taller boys. Ms. A is also an amazing teacher and I remember Jack just loving her and constantly inching his way onto her lap in the classroom daily. Mrs. Powers and Ms. A are taking full credit for the boys excellent reading skills and their 99 averages as they were the start of it all. I think they should take the credit- they deserve it!!
