Sally Rippin, Australian Author of {Jack} & {Billie}

A huge thank you to Tamela Cocke who arranged an amazing Skype visit with Australian author Sally Rippin! What a cool experience! Sally wrote the Jack and Billie books that have become a HUGE hit in Room 123! I must say the books are wonderful! And so age appropriate! If your little firstie is still interested in them, I can get you in touch with Tamela if you would like to purchase any.  They would be great for summer reading! Thanks again Tamela!!

Read Across America

We had a wonderful week celebrating our love of reading! Thanks to everyone who came and read to us!  Enjoy!

Thankful……..Everyday!

As I was doing a little photo organizing and uploading I came across these precious pictures from Thanksgiving that I never shared with you.  It made my heart smile! For many reasons……..I get to spend each day working with these children! Watching them grow and learn! As I look back to November I realize just how much they have all grown and learned in so many different ways.  I was also reminded how much I have to be thankful for, not just at Thanksgiving, but everyday!  Thank you for sharing your greatest blessings with me! I love each one of them!
