I believe that there is goodness in everyone (with the exception of Casey Anthony) and in my teaching career, I have had the pleasure of meeting many good people. Kindness shown towards me is one thing, but when it is directed at my kids it's worth double points! A special thanks to Kathy for donating 50 titles to my Summer Reading Club! You rock!
So many others have donated books to my classroom in the past and I am forever grateful to each and every one of them! A book is a powerful thing in a child's hands - it can be an adventure, provide new insight into issues that matter to the child, and most importantly, a book can help a child understand the world around them. That said, I love the look on a child's face when they have found that special story that resonates with them and becomes a part of who they are.
I remember the first time a book changed me - 7th grade - Are You There God, It's Me, Margaret by Judy Blume. Do you remember your book?
