I was so excited to hear this story! It is this Saturday in Dallas. Unfortunately I will be out of town on Saturday, otherwise, I’d go. I am definitely going to see about getting some of the books for my classroom library.

These were some other links we talked about that are very interesting.

I’d love to write more, but I’m pressed for time. Lots of assignments due this weekend and we are going out of town. I just finished this assignment for my 5720 class. Whew! Just 6 more things to do!
