I LOVE Surprises!

It was a normal day of checking my mail box in the office as the students went to PE. I had this interesting brown package that felt like a book sitting there in my box. My name and school address were hand written too! I rushed back to my classroom and could barely make it to my table to open the package.

To my surprise it was a a signed book from an AUTHOR himself! He had randomly selected a few classrooms across the country and my classroom had been chosen! I am sure most of you aren't aware of this, but I NEVER win random drawings. It's just a bad luck thing I have going on. So, hopefully my luck is changing.

Anyways, I am a leery person and quickly googled this author. I found out that he is a true author and has a great platform and passion for helping our nation's students become healthy and active. He is an author, speaker, and fitness expert. He has been featured on national TV and has written articles for many magazines including Fitness, Woman's Day, etc.
 
 

 
Here is the note he included for our class.
 
The class was SO excited about this. They loved the book too!

So, I have planned for the class to write letters to the author in response to him sending us a copy of his book.
