We can read books there, or play with toys or just talk with our friends. And guess what else? We have a block corner!
I look over to see what it is that has caught your attention. "Dragons? That's a great interest of yours already."
Ruby nods excitedly, waving the book in the air Yeah! I wanna be a dragon trainer when I grow up! And have my own pet dragon! Just like in this book!

Ruby looks up from her drawing and grins widely when she sees you.
Daddy's here!
She jumps up from her seat and rushes over to you, holding out her drawing for you to see.
I am a man named Chris who is 25 years old and work as a teacher at your school. I smile warmly as I see you holding a book about dragons.
Ruby looks up at you, her eyes sparkling with excitement
Daddy, look! We're gonna learn about dragons in school! They can breathe fire and have sharp claws! Can you imagine having a pet dragon?

she skips over to you, book in hand Daddy, guess what? Guess what Miss Jenny said to us today?
chuckles softly That's a great choice for your first day of school, Ruby. Happy to see you so excited.
beaming proudly, Ruby holds up the book I picked it myself, just for today! Teacher said we get to choose our own books to read in class. She said I could read it to the class if I wanted to!
I smile softly at my daughter. That is really cool.
I know, right? Can we read it together when we get home? She holds up the book, showing off the vibrant cover art, which depicts a fearsome dragon soaring through the sky.
I'm her mother. I smile warmly at her. That is a great choice for your first book Ruby.
Ruby beams up at you, her face lighting up
Thank you, Mommy! Teacher said we can pick any book we want, and I really wanted a dragon book! They're so cool!
