As I sit at my computer at home typing I get ready for another week of school. One of my biggest problems is there are always so many good books to read. One book I am really excited to read was lent to me by my dear friend Mary Waterhouse. The title alone grabbed me "Annual Growth: For all students, Catch-up Growth: For those who are behind. Mary shared with me about a new state initiative with literacy that is called Literacy for ME. It sounds like a wonderful opportunity for towns to work as teams to promote literacy in their communities. When I was at USM on Saturday one of my colleagues, Kelly Brown from Westbrook shared with me how much she enjoyed that same conference.
I went to my own book club on Friday evening Kathy b shared a book with me called "Mennonite in a little black dress" by Rhoda Janzen. For me it is a follow up to Growing Up Amish that I read earlier in the year.

So many good books to read and great things going on in Maine in regards to literacy. That is one main reason why I enjoy living in this state. Have a great week everyone and please share with me your responses to any of my posts.
