I do hope the book gets to you in time. I always reread it a few times before I read it aloud to the kids. <BR/><BR/>I generally ask the entire class before I begin if anyone has ever read the book to them before. The answer is usually no, but if someone raises their hand we go and have a talk in the hall real quick and I bribe 'em to keep their mouth shut. :)EHThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17964668210604436937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20993778.post-82849344496801463782007-12-18T20:15:00.000-05:002007-12-18T20:15:00.000-05:00I was so excited when I saw your blog that I order...I was so excited when I saw your blog that I ordered the book. Amazon says that it will get here on Thursday, so this will be the last thing I do with my students on Friday before I send them home. I have heard their mutterings and their little quiet arguments among each other; I read one of Laura Ingalls Wilder's stories today - but this one will be the icing on the cake. I can't wait!! Thank you so much for a wonderful post (I go to bed with butterflies, too, and wake up way too early) and a wonderful way to send my students home.teachergirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05655615013367705872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20993778.post-26620269478620439202007-12-17T22:11:00.000-05:002007-12-17T22:11:00.000-05:00I would just like to share that I still get butter...I would just like to share that I still get butterflies when I go to sleep on December 24th, and I still wake up December 25th at the crack of dawn because I can't sleep in.<BR/><BR/>I shared this with my freshman, and you'd think I'd said that iPods are overrated.the anonymous teacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08060620724283677205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20993778.post-35820254865930775352007-12-17T15:20:00.000-05:002007-12-17T15:20:00.000-05:00Mike, I forgot how terrifying those monkies were u...Mike, I forgot how terrifying those monkies were until I actually looked up an image of them. Eeek!<BR/><BR/>Teacher from Israel...thanks for reading my blog. The city of Atlanta has a long Jewish heritage as does our first city, Savannah. However, I have not actually ever taught a Jewish student in the public school system where I work which is about 30 minutes outside of Georgia's capital.EHThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17964668210604436937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20993778.post-71609864364166458692007-12-17T14:49:00.000-05:002007-12-17T14:49:00.000-05:00I love reading your blog, but have a small questio...I love reading your blog, but have a small question.
