Taylor Elementary's principal, Mr. Daybell, loves when his students read.  Every morning he asks students about what they read the night before, he shares on the announcements what he's currently reading, and he loves to visit classrooms just to have a chance to read to students.  Mr. Daybell recently visited classrooms and read a book about Abraham Lincoln as well as one by one of his favorite authors, Patricia Polacco.  He read "The Bee Tree" to students saying he loves Patricia Polacco's books because she writes about what happens to her in her own life.
