Hilde's daughter Victoria is writng our next blog post (Monday Jan 21) on What Kids Like To Read. She wrote it in longhand, then put it on the computer. I just send back edit notes to her. I love all of our kids and they each have their special talents.The Pen and Ink Blogspothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01709195512534318571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1916028004465213877.post-38394470016612764432013-01-14T15:36:57.951-08:002013-01-14T15:36:57.951-08:00The kids’ humor and insights often keep me enterta...The kids’ humor and insights often keep me entertained.

For me "resolutions" = guilt and shame in not even coming close! Having balance in my life is definitely something I strive for as well. It's so easy, for example, to let blogging take over your life! I mean, someone needs to vacuum every now and then, right?Renee C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07351071483275676742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1916028004465213877.post-26706105365769379212013-01-12T20:01:16.709-08:002013-01-12T20:01:16.709-08:00Pat, I'll look for Substitute Groundhog.

Sounds like they made some excellent resolutions. I think your humorous student has a lot in common with Squirrel. It doesn't take much for them to make a life to snack connection!<br /><br />Best wishes to you and your students in the New Year. Perhaps they will enjoy Substitute Groundhog for February. <br /><br />Warm regards,<br />Pat Miller<br />www.patmillerbooks.com Pat Millerhttp://www.patmillerbooks.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1916028004465213877.post-66551881564625072782013-01-12T17:35:30.000-08:002013-01-12T17:35:30.000-08:00What a charming lesson.
