"Frog and Toad."

Grandma Zucc was invited to do a reading in Brendan's 4th grade class.  This is one of the cool things that happened during our little trip.  She read, for perhaps a half an hour,  several short stories from a most entertaining book called "Frog and Toad."

I was impressed with how respectful and attentive the class member's were.  Of course, not only does Grandma Z's natural demeanor demand attention, but also I could tell, from the moment we entered the classroom, that the kids were well disciplined by their teacher.

The book, "Frog and Toad" is loaded with stories that have sort of a mature humor.  This humor is subtle, and requires an imagination to catch it.

The kids, I believe, did just that, as many times laughter rang through the group.

Bev did a fantastic job of holding everyone's attention, and at the end of the reading, the teacher said that she could tell, Bev was a former teacher.



At the end of the session, Brendan was asked to come and sit with his Grandma.  This was a great honor to him.

I really have to respect and compliment the students at Horizons Elementary.  These kids must be a special group.  Brendan is lucky to be counted among them.
