📚 Special Guest Alert! 📚 Today, Mr. Noe’s class had a wonderful visit from Mrs. Elizabeth from the public library! Since the students have been reading the story At The Library this week, having Mrs. Elizabeth stop by was the perfect way to see the book come to life. She chatted with the class about what she does as a librarian, answered all of their curious questions, and even treated them to a few fun stories. A big thank you to Mrs. Elizabeth and the Harlan public library for taking the time to inspire these young readers! ❤️📖
