“The more that you read, the more things you will know.The more that you learn, the more places you'll go.”
-Dr. Seuss
This year I have become a reading teacher. I not only teach reading to students but I've realized the vital importance of reading in everyone's life. I am so greatful for parents (and siblings!) who read to me when I was little. This week we're focusing heavily on reading in school because Monday was the official 'Read Across America' day in honor of Dr. Seuss' birthday. Did you know that Dr. Seuss not only wrote silly stories or social commentaries, but he wrote stories that children would actually enjoy and with rhyming words to build their vocabularies!? No more, 'See Jane run' types! We want 'one fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish!' Everyone is a reading teacher in some way. Let's embrace it and read!! Encourage your children to read and be good examples by reading yourself. Currently, I'm reading 2 books: 'Finding Darwin's God' and 'The Picture of Dorian Gray.' My husband and I are reading 'Marley and Me' aloud, which is hilariosu! Any suggestions on what I else I need to read?

Our library had a Dr. Seuss celebration today and it was so much fun! All of the kids even got a new book to take home! Hope you guys are doing well- can't wait to see your baby girl!
Finding Darwins God was technically difficult for me..not enough biology classes, so hopefully you like it.
I'll have to send you a list of books I've read lately. But I am not really up to date.
The quilt shop is 'all in stiches'. I was going to get a hold of you for a class last month, but they had to cancel it. If they have another do you want to do it?
I would love to make one for you! What colors are you thinking?
