We had a special visitor in room 113 last Friday- Charlie Austin! I had told my kids all year that I would bring Charlie up to school for them to meet him. I was running out of time and only had a few days left of the year. So, Justin brought him up last Friday and we had such a fun afternoon. My class was mesmerized with Charlie and I think he was a bit overwhelmed as well. He has never had 24 kids looking at him at once!!! :)
He mainly just stood there and stared at them- but he did walk and move around the room. When he did everyone just followed him to where he went and huddled around him watching his every move.They then grabbed a book and started reading to him- Charlie loved it!!!! I think this was my favorite part of his visit. Seeing my sweet kids reading to him all on their own- it was awesome!
He started warming up to everyone towards the end of his visit and was laughing at a few of my girls making silly faces at him.
What a fun afternoon we had! I'm so glad this sweet bunch of kids finally got to meet sweet Charlie!!!
