Teacher Tuck-In With Mrs. Schultz

Tonight one of the girls' very favorite teachers came to read stories and tuck them into bed. Every year at the CES Fall Festival, one of the fund raising items is the "Teacher Tuck-In" offered by each of the Kindergarten teachers. The highest bidder gets the opportunity to have their favorite Kindergarten teacher to come to their house and read stories to their child. Sofia had Mrs. Schultz as her teacher for 1st grade and Olivia had her last year for Kindergarten. Both girls adore her and she is easily one of the sweetest and warmest teachers. Last year, the Teacher Tuck-in went for $200. This year, somehow we were able to pay less than half for Mrs. Schultz' visit.

Mrs. Schultz arrived at our house at 7pm and both girls were excited. Olivia literally asked for hours when Mrs. Schultz would arrive and kept a lookout the front door for an hour. Mrs. Schultz arrived and the girls couldn't calm down or stop chattering! Olivia had written on the white board upstairs "Welcome Mrs. Schultz" and was desperate to show her. So the three of them headed upstairs and ended up sitting on the floor in Sofia's room. Mrs. Schultz brought a book called "Good Night Yoga" and soon it was quiet and I sneaked a peek to find Mrs. Schultz reading the book to them while all three did yoga poses. It was so cute! Unfortunately, I didn't have my cell phone, so wasn't able to take a picture. It was so sweet and the perfect book given Mrs. Schultz love of yoga.

Once the were done with their yoga moves and book, the girls and Mrs. Schultz moved down to Olivia's room where Olivia read to Mrs. Schulz and Sofia and then Sofia read to them. Olivia read a Dr. Seuss book. It was super sweet and Mrs. Schulz was very impressed by Olivia's reading! She gave the girls hugs and headed home. I told Mrs. Schultz that the girls were so excited and she said, "I can believe it! I think Olivia has talked more tonight than she did all year in class!" She really was super excited and they both loved having Mrs. Schultz over for the evening. Olivia re-read the book to me and showed me each of the yoga moves. She was so excited. After she left, we tucked the girls in and got them ready for school the next day.
