This week I'm celebrating World Read Aloud Day 2016!
*throws confetti*
What are you celebrating this week?
I'm a bit late on my World Read Aloud Day celebration post but I can't not share how absolutely awesome it was just one more time. I shared the idea to celebrate WRAD by Skyping with authors and illustrators with teachers across my district and then helped connect them with some of my amazing author and illustrator friends. For more information on WRAD, you can visit the Litworld WRAD webpage.
Remember how revel is my one little word this year? Well, it was not hard to sit back and just soak it all in. I loved hearing the students' questions and feeling inspired by the authors' and illustrator's answers. It was such an awesome experience to spend three days traveling around my district to join in on these Skypes. I'll never forget the excitement. It still brings a smile to my face.

It was an absolutely fantastic week of celebrating reading aloud and our love of books in District 75. I'm already excited for next year!
