Star of the Week: Emma

Emma shared that she likes to play with friends.  Her favorite foods are steak, cinnamon rolls, and party pizza.  Her favorite movie is Punky Brewster (a blast from my past).

Emma's dad, Brett, shared about his job with Pepsi in Marshalltown.  He had a delivery truck stop by so that we could see that part of the process.  He even got a bottle of juice or water for each of the kids right off the truck.

Author visit: Ry Sloth

Ryan Sloth showed us helmets from some of the teams that he played football for.  They include the Iowa State Cyclones and this helmet from the Iowa Barnstormers.  He is currently a defensive coach for the Iowa Barnstormers.

He taught us a lot about sloths and we got to act like a sloth and pretend to get ready for school very s....l....o.....w...l....y.

Ryan Sloth read the book that he wrote to us and told us about the names of his family that he used as characters in the story.

His Iowa State Cyclone jersey.

He signed books for those students who purchase one.
