I love the idea of sending kids home with books and a hammock...the image of kiddos relaxing and reading their sweet summers away would make my heart happy! I hope you have a hammock and book-filled summer!

Because no one ever "forced" me to read but rather read to me and showed me the magic of books, I share a similar philosophy that you do. So many of our students do not have this experience or passion which is why I have dedicated my life to literacy. Your students are so blessed to have you as their teacher! :-)Teacher Mom of 3https://www.blogger.com/profile/14037401118654939801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1208115429957802132.post-39103259224186404872015-06-19T16:35:16.652-04:002015-06-19T16:35:16.652-04:00I actually never loved to read until I became a te...I actually never loved to read until I became a teacher (the horror!)

I just loved your post and picturing you in that back porch swing...saddle shoes and all!! What a great connection you had with the librarians too! I love that about our library...they know my kids and always initiate conversations of what to read next. Librarians are special people, and I was so lucky to work with a gem at Paul Munro Elementary...Mrs. Ruth Ann McCarthy is THAT librarian who makes a difference. In fact, I need to go give that shout out to her. :-) Thanks for all your work with the Rafflecopter too.
