Around Collyvale
Miss Harper
Teacher · Room 1B, Collyvale Primary School
Miss Harper teaches in Room 1B. In Ollie’s first school story, she is there among the books, paints and busy tables when he comes through the classroom door.
Her copper curls, round glasses, flowered dress and daisy lanyard make her easy to spot. She knows that a classroom can be noisy, surprising and full of wonderful questions—all before the first lesson is over.
Take a look around Room 1B or find the school on the Collyvale map.
A little closer
A few things about Miss Harper
Easy to spot
Look for the copper curls, the round glasses and a blue lanyard dotted with daisies. Her cardigan has flowers too.
The blue door
She teaches in Room 1B, the classroom behind the bright blue door. There is usually something interesting to see before you reach a chair.
The Loose Parts box
It holds pinecones, tubes and other bits that could become almost anything. Miss Harper likes hearing what the children think they might make.
Too many legs?
A little creature lives in the classroom tank. Miss Harper has heard several different guesses about how many legs it has.
A question for the class
When one child suggests a dinosaur, she is interested to hear what the others might be thinking.
Stars overhead
Colorful stars hang across Room 1B. Even when the tables are busy, the stars stay neatly in a row.
The bell has its own ideas
It has a way of ringing just when everyone is in the middle of something. Miss Harper knows where to pick up again afterward.
One more thing to make
Paints, blocks, books and cardboard can all begin a story. Miss Harper is curious to see what Room 1B will try next.
