Famous Book Characters visit Glenwood!

Many famous book characters came to Glenwood today!  Fancy Nancy from "Fancy Nancy, Bonjour Butterfly" and The Number Devil substitute taught the class for Mrs. Jiang and Ms Gondek.  Even Ms. Tsai had a famous substitute - Totoro from "My Neighbor, Totoro"!  Among our students we had:

• Hermione 
• The Runaway Bunny
• The Cat in the Hat
• Jack from Magic Tree House
• Curious George
• Silly Kitty from Kiki's Delivery Service
• Elfie from Elf on the Shelf
• The Wicked Witch, Dorothy, and Tin Man from The Wizard of Oz (and Toto too!)
• Cole ZX (Ninjago)
• Flat Stanley
• Greg Hefny (Diary of a Wimpy Kid)
• Oggie Cooder
• Legolas (Lord of the Rings)
• Cinderella
• Jasmine
• Ladybug Girl
• Emily Elizabeth (Clifford)
• Bad Kitty
• The Interrupting Chicken (we had twins!) and their dad

We had a great day of reading and sharing our favorite books.  First Graders also LOVED seeing the other "substitutes" around the school, and the famous book characters in all grades!  Check out the Glenwood facebook page for some great candid shots of many of Glenwood's famous book characters!

Who will YOU be?

Tomorrow is Glenwood's Read-a-Thon Book Character day!

Students may come to school dressed as their favorite book character. These are just some of the great ideas our students came up with. I wonder what famous characters will come to school tomorrow?
