This time last week (Monday morning), Roo went to school and learned that as Bug of the Week (class helper), it was his turn to read a story to the Butterfly class (3 year olds). His reading teacher Ellen explained, with a tear in her eye, how things transpired. Apparently when Roo first heard the news, Ellen noticed tears in his eyes. He communicated that he was worried he'd be embarrassed. Ellen, knowing that he's been practicing and has the skills to the read the selected book, gently persuaded him to give it a go. Together they practiced reading the story, and talked about what to do if he gets stuck or says an incorrect word. When the moment arrived, he walked to the front of the class and confidently read the story, My Lost Bear. Needless to say, Ryan and I are super proud of him.
