We have a SUPER principal who LOVES reading and has a passion for getting kids into books. Several years ago she started offering opportunities for classes to sign-up to hear her read, and we jumped at the chance. We’re still going strong and ready to enjoy year #3!!
Our first PRA of the year was a great one, and I noticed that Mrs. Sisul must have a new focus this year. After seeing all of her book choices and reading experiences so far, see if you can figure out what it is. 🙂
PRA #1
I’ve Got the Rhythm by Connie Schofield-Morrison
PRA #2
If You’re a Monster and You Know It by Rebecca Emberley and Ed Emberley
As we prepared for the next PRA, I had a sneaky request for my teammates: what if we had ALL OF FIRST GRADE in the room when Mrs. Sisul came in?? We were all game and so when she walked in, she was greeted by almost 100 smiling faces who were SUPER EXCITED to hear a fun story! What a sweet surprise and a great way to start the day together!
PRA #3
Do Not Bring Your Dragon to the Library by Julie Gassman
PRA #4
The Truth About My Unbelievable School by Davide Cali
Somehow I have NO pictures and no video for this one. What was I thinking? I really think I was so involved in the story that I was too distracted to record anything. :). This one is a new author to us, and is part of a series. We’re excited to hear more that are like this one. The pictures played a big part in telling the story, and if you didn’t pay close attention to them you missed a lot!
Can’t wait for the next one! Stay tuned to hear more about it! 🙂

My PRA times are absolute highlights to my day! You forgot to mention I have actually been SURPRISE greeted by 100 first graders TWICE ~ the first was in the last days of school last school year when 100 1st graders marched into my office and we read a book together! The more the merrier! I wonder what other books elementary principals would recommend I read to my Robinson kids? PS I am not afraid to do crazy voices or dances. 🙂
I totally forgot about that! Was one of my FAVORITE PRA times. :). And believe I know you are not afraid!! Bring it on next time. 🙂
Remember the time you were wearing roller skates and a cape? Or at least a Wonder Woman shirt…:)
