Teachers Go Bananas!

Today was the Annual Teachers Go Bananas Day at Harlan!  This is a special day when all of the teachers dress up as one of their favorite book characters.  When a silly song (BananaPhone by Raffi) plays over the PA, the teachers all go bananas, grab their book and run into another classroom to read to that class!

Here is the First Grade Team ready to Go Bananas! 

Miss Thane is"Rainbow Fish" from The Rainbow Fish, Mr. Kefgen is "Pete the Cat" from Pete the Cat and His Four Groovy Buttons and Mrs. Cibor is a "Truffula Tree" from The Lorax!

Our class was visited by Mr. Price when he went bananas!  He came into our room as

 "The Peddler" from Caps for Sale!

  Some of our favorite characters even joined us in first grade today!

We had an American Girl Doll...

A Storm Trooper...

A Drama Queen...

Harry Potter...

Junie B. Jones...

Fancy Nancy...

and a double dose of Pinkalicious!

Happy Teachers Go Bananas Day!

Strep Throat...Again

I wanted to let you know that there has been another case of strep in our grade level. Strep information can be found on our blog.  

We will do everything we can to keep up our handwashing and keep the germs at bay at school!

Please let me know if you have any questions.
