Our visit to Bradford.

Today was definitely interesting. I walked into a classroom in a school I had never been to and thought I knew no one there and then ended up with a student I tutor! It was amazing to see how different he was in school and how different it was working with him when I got to do something fun and not "work." The children enjoyed the book The Fungus That Ate My School and I highly reccommend it to anyone who has not read it. I don't know any kids who wouldn't LOVE to have their school eaten by fungus, I know that I would have when I was their age. It was an easy-read and the kids even helped me read a little! It also brought up great discussion. My kids were talking about finding mold and fungus outside on their driveways and also about how to create machines to get rid of the fungus! It was definitely a pleasure reading with those children and I would love to do it again. =)

I love that book! I was sad my group of three girls did not want to read it! It's a great book that you can somehow tie into a science lesson.
