Thank You, Mr. Falker

Wow! I actually cried as I read this book. It is a powerful autobiography by Polacco and a dedication to Mr. Falker. My heart went out to Tricia as she was being bullied and the tears streamed my face as she thanks a teacher who made a huge impact on her life. I believe this is the kind of story every teacher dreams of hearing- to know you made a difference in a child’s life. Polacco is working her way into my heart as my favorite author with every book I read!

Thank you to all the teachers out there who work hard and are truly making a difference to our children!

AL Capone Does My Shirts

I just finished reading, "AL Capone Does My Shirts" by Gennifer Choldenko. It was a wonderful book. I cried near the end of the book. Moose is a great character.
