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.
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.
