Sorry for the lack of posts recently. New semester+ new job= very busy me. Anyway my new job is nanny-ing for two delightful little girls, Eva (age 5) and Leah (age 2). When I was playing with Eva she pulled out 2 dolls and told me, "we're superheros." "Really!?" I replied, "what are your superpowers?" Without skipping a beat Eva replied, "reading" for one of the dolls and the other doll replied, "spelling." Wow, reading and spelling are superpowers. It's so true though-with literacy comes power.
In light of my new busy schedule this blog will change a little. I hope to start reading Caldecott books, which are books that receive honor based on their illustrations. They are picture books, perfect for the girls I am currently spending my days with. I hope to share a little bit about the books as well as the girls reactions. I will work in the remaining Newbery books as I finish them but there is no way I can come anywhere near the book a day pace I had in the summertime. I hope you enjoy the changes, it should be fun!
Superpowers...that's kids stuff.
