I'm Here

Here I am on the beach this morning.
I miss you guys.
Hope it's going ok with the sub.
Ms. Simonson

Tuesday

I'm busy getting ready for my trip.
I just put in the book order.
Tomorrow I will take all entries to the library to be submitted for the Poetry Contest.
I will work on putting updates on here when I am gone....so you won't miss me TOO much!

Mark Twain

I was reading a student's biography report today on Mark Twain.

This student put a famous quote in that Mark Twain said:

A person who WON'T read has NO advantage over one who CAN'T read!

POWERFUL!!!

It is SO TRUE!

We feel so badly for the people who are illiterate, but that that WON'T read....we should feel just as badly for them!

Showing Vs. Telling

Don't tell me the moon is shining; show me the glint of light on broken glass. ~Anton Chekhov

Check Out This Site

I just bought House Of Dark Shadows at the book fair last week.

I decided to check out the website for the author.

It's pretty cool! http://www.robertliparulo.com/
