A Bibliophile's Birthday


 
                           
This week was my (Jessica's) birthday and anyone who knows me well knows that I love books and kids and sweet stuff!  So this birthday was made perfect by my wonderful hubby and kids and friends with a new library room at school, kids surrounding me, and special treats to sweeten the day!
Hubby made cinnamon rolls from scratch!  Quite impressed!

He also worked so hard - carpentry, contracting, and doing so much to get the new container classroom ready for use just in time for my birthday!
It is now our new library room on one side!
The other side will have a study area and computers when we are able to complete it.



Love seeing the kids enjoy books in this new space and knowing that moving the library here is creating more space for the other classrooms to accommodate more of our special students.
No more sitting on the floor for some of our newer special students like Kwame who now gets space for a desk!

In our home, we have been enjoying story time almost every evening after Bible devotions.  Fostering the love of books and reading for information as well as enjoyment has been a wonderful new family tradition for the past couple months.  We would highly recommend this as a great family tradition! As we read, we learn together and laugh together and get to talk about things that may come up in books which aren't right or true and others which are laudable and imitation-worthy. 

Yes, we are almost through reading a history book and have enjoyed many interesting stories and facts but also have caught some errors and inaccuracies.  Always be on the alert as parents!
