Our Teacher's Having a Baby

This week we will be reading several books about babies. We kicked off the week with the book Our Teacher's Having a Baby! The class learned that their teacher really IS having a baby in February, just like the teacher in the book.

The class came up with some very interesting name ideas for Mrs. Morgan's baby boy including Snake, Mr. Morgan, Octopus, Maybe, and Swordfish. I think I may have to keep reading some baby name books to get some other ideas. :O)
