Let the love of reading continue! Thanks to these past 2 snow days, I was able to finish a book I had on loan from the mother of one of my students - The Knight Crusader by Ronald Welch - my first book of 2014!
It's a young adult historical fiction account of the Crusades. On the plus side, I found it a very easy read with lots of action & strong vocabulary usage, and it has great potential for being a read aloud. On the negative side, it's only published in England, so it's a bit more expensive on this side of the pond.
(Might I suggest a friend who has it or the library if you're interested in the series? That's what I did. Worked well.)
Well, it is back to reality tomorrow, so, alas, there will not be quite as much time to read for pleasure. But (as much as it pains me to say it), it will be nice to get back in the swing of things with the students tomorrow. And with the short week, we can ease back into school. (Amen to that!)
"I have no idea where I am going; I do not see the road ahead of me. I cannot know for certain where it will end. Nor do I really know myself...But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you. And I hope that I have that desire in all that I am doing. And I know that if I do this, you will lead me by the right road though I may know nothing about it. Therefore will I trust you always..." -Thomas Merton
I have come to fall in love with teaching in Catholic schools. What are YOU in love with?...
