Mark Daniel Reading Fun ContinuesAs reading month continues at Phenix Elementary School, students are reading, reading and reading!  As a special treat, Phenix and Bacon District Elementary Schools got to travel to Randolph-Henry High School to see a storyteller and magician.  Mrs. Watkins, the librarian for both schools, arranged for Mark Daniel to come and share his love of reading with the students.  Mark Daniel is an accomplished storyteller and has been entertaining elementary school children for over twenty years.  He used books, puppets and magic to make the books come alive for the children. The students met a reading Stegosaurus and saw a ball of yarn magically turn into a sweater.  But the most amazing feat witnessed by the children was after Mr. Daniel read “Not a Box” by Anne Portis.  Mr. Daniel had a stuffed bunny listening to the story with the children and all of a sudden the stuffed bunny turned into a real bunny!  Proving how magical books can be…leading all of us on great adventures.  Please remember to read with your child.
