So, this is a sort of post-script to Parent Teacher Conference. I learned a lot about the kids in my class . . . but I also got a couple of great suggestions for books and authors to read. I can't even remember how Mrs Bird and I got onto the subject of reading Orson Scott Card, but we did. Now reading OSC is like a huge stretch for me because my favorite genres don't usually include anything close to fantasy or science fiction. Mrs Bird was talking about the book Lost Boys and I quickly took note of the title and decided to read it. . . soon. Then this weekend, our daughter, Katy was up and I asked her if she'd read it since she is a huge fan of OSC (she's the reason I've ever read any of Card's works to begin with!)
Bottom line is that I love to know what comes next in the book. I sometimes HAVE to know what comes next in the book. After talking to Katy, and prying just a little info out of her, I am sooooo excited to read Lost Boys and I'll let you know what I think once I've finished. I'm thinking it's not a read aloud for fourth grade, but something to stretch one's thinking of the fabric of the universe.
Talent Show next Tuesday at 1:00. If you can make it, great, if not, you already know your kids are amazing. My jaw dropped a couple of time during practice today. Yep, amazing!
This year really is shaping up to the Best Year Ever!
