Bread and Jam for Frances

I had promised my friend Eric he could read Bread and Jam for Frances to my 1st grade class. He wasn't able to make it in the other day and I couldn't hold out reading it to them! It was my favorite story book as a kid, after all! The kids loved it and will love hearing it a second time so I guess I technically didn't break my promise to Eric.

More Bedtime for Frances

I read Bedtime for Frances to the kids at school today. They loved it. Eric, a friend of mine has been volunteering in my classroom recently and when he saw I was going to read it to the class asked if he could read it as it had been his favorite book when he was a kid. I told him no and that it had been MY favorite book as a child! He took it well and I promised him he could read Bread and Jam for Frances when he comes back Friday. Deal.
