As the original "leaping librarian" today was going to be my day. That's a lot of pressure. I was going to leap in the library. Leap in the cafeteria. Leap in the gym. The music room. The office. Well, life got in the way and I leapt a little but not as much as I would have liked on LEAP DAY! My saving grace? Everyday is leap day whether it is 2/29 or 3/1 or 4/23 or even 9/17. Whatever the day, whatever the time, there can always be a reason to leap into the next moment.
I still managed to get some leaping in, of course, and here we are:
 |
| 3rd graders leaping with their country books! |
 |
| More 3rd graders just plain excited to leap! |
 |
| Leaping in the cafeteria with kindergarteners! |
 |
| Just another leap... |
 |
| More kindergarteners! |
 |
| And more...Just wait till next Leap Day when they are in FOURTH grade! |
 |
| Check out the girl in the grey shirt saying "Yay!" |
 |
Mrs. Pryde's first graders in the library! Jessica brought in the book,
Leopold's Long Awaited Leap Year Birthday by Dawn Desjardins, which we read aloud! |
 |
| Mrs. Yager's 3rd graders |
 |
| The final leap of the afternoon! |
It will be an exciting day for these kids to revisit Leap Day again in 4 years. My plan today? Try and recreate these pictures with the Ks and 1s. Maybe I'll even go to the MS and find the 3rd graders just to LEAP! Stay tuned!
