Thank you so much. I don't know how you could choose a book to read first! They are all so tempting. Happy Birthday, dear lady. Enjoy every moment and good luck with getting through those papers. I'd love to see a quote from some of the great ones. Have a great week!Linda Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00833034575304594924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26800186.post-57607999204829344212017-03-10T20:34:27.190-08:002017-03-10T20:34:27.190-08:00And now I'll have more on my wish list, Ruth. ...And now I'll have more on my wish list, Ruth. What treats you selected that will be the gifts for a long time. Those lines you shared are so poignant and also respectful. Thanks for them. I'm interested to hear that your seventh graders did poetry anthologies. I've had my students do them in the past and while it was a lot of copying, I thought it became a treasured "product". Feature articles will be good reading too.Thanks for all!Linda Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983144542632353870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26800186.post-88884517164748859142017-03-10T15:17:31.041-08:002017-03-10T15:17:31.041-08:00Lovely!

These all sound great, but I'm especially intrigued by OMEROS... also those 7th grade poetry anthologies. :) Enjoy!Michelle Heidenrich Barneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02051827857519159837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26800186.post-55258379911759719192017-03-10T15:04:26.562-08:002017-03-10T15:04:26.562-08:00Nothing better than brand new books!

(My younger daughter read Omeros last year -- 9th grade -- and I think her grade complained so much that this year's freshmen didn't have to read it...)<br />Tabathahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14367572663591077922noreply@blogger.com
