Following lunch in Corydon on October 30th, UniServ Director Jim and I were off to Seymour. The community of Seymour is just a stone's throw from the Missouri border and it was a lovely drive on this late October day.
We were greeted by association leader and K-6 Resource Room teacher Laura Horton. Laura is pictured (at right) with South Central UniServ Director Jim Crotty.
Laura had put together a great schedule which included visits to three classrooms. The first room to visit was Cheryl Housh's Kindergarten class. The children loved the book, 17 Things I'm Not Allowed to Do Anymore.
Next we visited the classroom of Sarah Zintz. Sarah was absent this day, so leading instruction was Lori Jewett (at right) with Sarah's homeroom of 1st graders. All the children get excited when we give them one of our "magic" pencils--they turn from purple to pink in your warm little hands!
The final classroom visit in Seymour was in the 2nd grade of Jennifer Miller. I read aloud the new Chris Van Alsberg book, Probuditi! I got the feeling that at least one of the children was going to try and hypnotize a younger sibling following the read aloud. Afterall, it was the eve of Halloween! Jennifer shared with us that she just celebrated her 100th victory as a girl's volleball coach. Way to go, Coach Miller!Thanks, Seymour EA for all you do every day for Iowa's students!
