📚We Read Wednesday 📚 The Faculty and Staff at Louise Durham love books, reading and talking about all their favorite stories! Meet our PE Teacher Mrs. Castor. Mrs. Castor loves reading and connecting health and wellness through a read aloud! Mrs. Castor loves the book Everybody’s Good at Something by Susan Rose! 📚“ In this story Katie can’t do everything in PE until she finds what she is good at! This book helps us see that everyone is good at something!” Mrs. Castor shares her love of reading by going into each classroom and connecting Heath and PE standards through a read aloud! Students can then see the power of making healthy choices all the while falling in love with a good book! Everybody’s Good at Sometbing by Susan Rose
