My first school visit in Des Moines was met with excitement. Mrs. McFadden, the principal, made sure I had everything I needed including a wireless microphone. A hopeful actress gave us a riveting scream. A lefty pitcher showed us his talented pitching prowess. My two young readers read the Fuji-Dad scene like professionals. Greenwood Elementary certainly has its share of rising stars.
The school was built in the early 1900s but has been refurbished and its red brick and entryway look new. The homes that are nestled around the school are both elegant and classic in architectural style. We certaiinly had fun and it never hurts to hear one young girl screaming to her mother as she's just about to open her car door: "Mom! I got Dr. Mullen's book. And the other kids say it's great!"
Thank you Greenwood and Mrs. McFadden.

I hope that students learn how important reading is as well. It seems as though you did a great job with the two brave actors who performed the Fuji-Dad skit. I'm glad to hear that the two students did a great job with their drama. I think that anytime a child is encouraged to use drama to relate to their experiences. I knew a teacher who encouraged the students to write and act out their family vacations each year after spring break. It made it a fun way for the students to write about personal experiences.
