Saturday January 7th, at Benbrook Middle School, I attended TCU Reading Frogs "Score a Goal In the Classroom", encouraging 4-12 year olds to Read read READ! Mayor of Benbrook Jerry Dittrich, and Fort Worth ISD Superintendent Walter Dansby were there!
What a GREAT experience. As a complete right brained thinker, it warmed my literature-filled heart to see little readers, and older students reading to them! Nothing like a good book!:)
At the event, there were a bunch of people in fun costumes for the kids to take pictures with, and even a pool to FISH from. Every kid walked out of there with a couple books, some even walked away with a new BOOK SHELF!
Reading is so important, it helps you gain vocabulary, and for the math people out there... it helps with comprehension and problem solving.
You know... today I used the word "Ensue" in a conversation! Learned that word in a book!:)

With some of the characters, and the Benbrook Bobcat.... a close relative to a PLANO WILDCAT!;)
Have a Great day!!
