This post is totally unrelated to reading, but, pertains to a subject equally as enriching and nourishing - art! This month is Youth Art Month, and in celebration of this, our public library is displaying art by our school district elementary ‘artists’. Our school picked five students to have their artwork on display. My middle son, the fifth grader, was one of those chosen. Although we are a large school district and there was a lot of artwork there, it was still really neat! They held a reception for the featured artists last night, and my little featured artist got all filled up on cookies! I took some neat pictures so I will have to learn how to post pictures on here.
And while I’m working on that, you:
GO READ A BOOK!

1I love what your focusing on here! My friends and I started a group to teach our kids about volunteerism and I’m loving it. Your site makes me thing about doing a book drive or starting a program where bigger kids read to “littler” ones.

2Your Tiny Hands project is AWESOME! I love it!
Having the older kids read to the younger ones would be great! I was just talking to a third grade teacher this morning about the importance of children being read aloud to.
And she loaned me this GREAT book, The Read-Aloud Handbook by Jim Trelease.
I will definitely be focusing some more on that subject!
Thanks for the comments!
