Thanks Heather!
800 books?!
That's quite an extensive library for a classroom in my opinion - "very cool"! :)

re: Back to the Future ...
I think it would be fun to go back in time like "Marty" and see what my own parents were like in high school! :)

My daughter just said she thinks there's a tornado warning in central Florida?! I hope you're ok!

Everything is okay in my neck of the woods. There may be some tree limbs down, but I won't be able to see the full extent of any damage until the morning when the sun comes up. It poured for about an hour. We had lots of thunder and lightning. It looked much worse on the weather radar, at least for Deltona. The power kept going off and on, but did not stay off for more than a minute at a time. The wind was cazy though. Some areas had wind gusts over 60MPH...YIKES!!! I'm glad I was home and not at school. The playground will probably be a huge pile of mud tomorrow. So, we may just stay inside and have more time for 100th day fun.

800 books...oh yeah! They have all kinds of categories to choose from (neighborhood, fiends, vehicles, weather, seasons, animals (fiction and nonfiction are separate), numbers, ABCs.....etc. We have author and series bins too. At least 30 are from Dr. Seuss. About 10 Laura Numeroff (If you give a mouse....)Clifford books coming out of my ears. The kids have access to most of the books, but I have a collection that I use for specific lessons and those books stay with me.

Your library sounds awesome Heather!
While observing a first grade classroom last semester, - when given a choice by their teacher - the students voted to have her read a book aloud to them rather than have time to play computer games! :) Which I thought was "very cool"! :)

re: the weather I'm glad you're OK! I hope Nancy is alright too! I'm up kinda early myself to check on the weather here in TN. Looking out my window - since I began typing it has changed from rain to snow. We may be using our last "snowday" today?!
