Today was the kindergarten’s “100 Day Museum'”display in the library at school. When children reach the 100 day milestone, they make a project at home, something that contains 100 objects. Classes are invited to the ‘museum’. We even had tickets in order to attend. Yes, it’s a big deal. We were at the museum, admiring every 100 Day display. Then it happened.
“Jennie, come here! Come quick! Now!”
That’s what I heard from Harry. He grabbed my hand and pulled me over to a corner in the library. He was beside himself at what he saw:
No, it wasn’t the picture on the top shelf. It was in the lower right hand corner, a box collection of the Little House books. The front picture is exactly the book we are currently reading, “Little House in the Big Woods”.
What a wonderful discovery! Other children immediately came over. Harry’s discovery now became their discovery. It was a moment. Three cheers to libraries and all they do to open so many doors for children. Harry made the connection that our chapter reading book was a ‘real’ library book.

It fun to spend time with kids.
Yes.
Fabulous!
😍
How awesome. The excitement must have been contagious.
You are right!!
What a wonderful moment for Harry.
It definitely was! The best!
Cheers to the simply discoveries that lead the way to more.
Hear, hear!
I can just imagine how excited Harry was! Is he the boy who was reading the Gloria in a recent post?
Yes, he is the same boy!! I said, “Harry, when I grow up will you marry me?” He beamed and said, “Yes!”
He must be a very sweet little boy!
He is! 🙂
that Harry is an observant one!
He really is- often!
What a wonderful moment of discovery and brilliant of him to share it with you and the class!
It was! Thank you, Deborah.
Been with this beautiful kids will be so fun and they will learn alot from you
A great moment, Jenny.
It was! Thank you, John.
Your class stories just keep getting better and better, Jennie. When I was at junior school, nobody would have thought to tell me it was my 100th day.
Best wishes, Pete.
I think there are many ‘cool’ things today in school that we never had. I’m so glad enjoy these stories, Pete.
When children make these connections it is monumental and can instill a love of learning.
Yes!! Well said, Pam.
Ah, to be a child. Ah, to be an adult in a new environment.🤣🤣
Yes, and yes!
Perfect! 💞
Spot on, Bette! 🥰
I love it! The enthusiasm of discovering something is wonderful.
It is! Thank you, Carla.
How wonderful when these things happen so naturally. An excellent moment for Harry, I’m sure.
That’s exactly how I feel! Best to you, Pete.
Happy 100th Day! I always enjoyed those celebrations at school.
But incidental child-led learnings like Harry’s are the best.
Well said, Norah. As wonderful as a 100 Day celebration is, the Harry moments are the best of all.
Definitely! 💖
😀
Happy 100th day! It’s when you can see them connecting all the dots that the magic is happening for both of you. What a moment! Life is all about those moments.
Life is definitely about these moments. The secret is to pay attention and make a big deal out of it…because it is a big deal. Best to you, Marlene.
Haha! That was a really cute moment, Jennie. Personally I like the Aqua Room collage best. 😉 Hugs.
Ah ha! Teagan, you’re the first to comment on the collage! This is from Jim Trelease, when he came to school to hear me read aloud. Big Deal!! I’m in the seventh edition of his million copy bestseller. So, thank you!

Many thanks, Michael!
Great! Must have been also a big fun for the children! xx Michael
It was!!
Hi Jennie, I have that exact same box set. How thrilling 💞
That is wonderful you have the same box set! Yes, it was a thrilling for Harry and the rest of us to make the discovery. 😀 I just finished a post on the first book in the series, published tomorrow.
The first book is my favourite.
I’m so glad!
