Though not necessarily a Christmas movie, I am rewatching my favorite adaptation of Little Women. And, yes, I will ugly cry yet again when Beth dies.

Thank you to all the kind Kindred Spirits who donated a copy of Charlotte's Web to all of my students for the holidays. I sent home 66 excited kids with their copies today for winter break.

One little girl who didn't like reading before she was in my class told me why she now loves to, "Because you get so excited about books that I wanted to see why and I found out you were right."

This is definitely not the case in my classroom. They have fallen in love with reading. Thank you to those of you who have donated to my classroom library. My students get excited every time a new book arrives.

Thank you to those kind Kindred Spirits who donated copies of Charlotte's Web to give to my students for the holidays. I just finished wrapping them & will give them to my students next week before their break.

We had the second meeting of our after school third grade book club & the kids had a blast. They love Beverly Cleary's Beezus & Ramona. In an age where kids are on technology so much, I am thrilled that they are loving reading.

I agree with the essayist Benjamin de Casseres when he wrote, "Imagination is the only weapon in the war against reality".

One of my favorite authors was the gentle & wise E.B. White. I think about something he wrote a lot these days, "Hate, it has caused a lot of problems in the world, but has not solved one yet". May we all choose love over hatred, love over fear, love over self-interest.
