Newberry medals/honors?
I have fond memories of you reading us Wheel on the School. I loved reading Witch of Blackbird Pond on my own. Never heard of the third one--with which group are you reading that one?
Newbery Medals is right!
I am reading I, Juan de Pareja to Olivia and 5 other 11- and 12-year-olds. It is a rather slow, quiet book, but rich.
Caleb says he likes "Wheel on the School", Christine. I asked for more and he said, "They're trying to get storks!" I shouldn't ask for book reviews when he's playing video games.
