Make your children earn their keep!

Newest addition to my wish list: Dies the Fire by S. M. Stirling. “This book is one part nightmare, one part medievalist’s fantasy, which makes its villain all the more fitting.” A medievalist as villain. *aaahahahahaha*

Recently bought The ADD/ADHD Checklist by Sandra Rief, which has a nice section with tips for teachers. Also bought Shelley, the Hyperactive Turtle to read in Emma’s class on Tuesday (ADHD Awaewness Day!). It’s cute, aimed at ages 4-8, and recommended by ADDitude Magazine. Am still on the lookout for good book choices for my February medieval gig in her classroom – I have a few books on my wishlist I’ll have to check out at some point, plus I bought Forri the Baker a few months ago, and that is a very fun book. We’ll see.
