An inspirational teacher...

I know a bunch of our family and friends are teachers so I thought I'd share this for you in particular:). Madison has a new reading teacher at her Middle School who is truly inspirational! One of her special talents is that she makes what Madison calls "reading movies" about the book that they are next going to study in class. The format that she presents the book in usually features a cliffhanger so the kids in Maddy's class are motivated to get ahold of the book right away and read it to find out what happens next. Maddy says that her classmates have never been this excited about reading books before! She has always loved to read so we're thrilled that this special teacher is developing Maddy's passion and inspiring other children that are still developing their love for books at the same time. I'm not sure if other teachers are doing this kind of thing already but here's one of her "reading movies" so that you can see what it's all about. Pretty fantastic teacher, right?
