Read For the Record features The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle

Did you read for the record on October 8th?

Here at Puckett's Mill, we joined in with JumpStart's national read-aloud campaign to promote strong literacy by sharing a classic tale, The Very Hungry Caterpillar with all of our Kindergarten and First grade classes. Our students were greeted by special readers who shared text to self connections and activities to get those little brains moving and motivated.

Many of our special readers were faces the students knew from around the school and community. All of our assistant principals, media & technology team, even Mrs. Walton, our PTA President shared this beautifully illustrated story. Mrs. Farmer and our very own Area Superintendent, Dr. Green shared stories of their childhood while introducing this year's book selection.

If you haven't read The Very Hungry Caterpillar, visit the local bookstore to pick up a copy. You'll love it!
