https://padlet.com/kkicklighter1/64z0eku9afppwau2 I cannot remember the books I have read any more than the meals I have eaten; even so, they have made me. - Ralph Waldo Emerson en-us 2023-01-27 18:46:12 UTC 2025-06-17 16:20:35 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f4da.png kkicklighter1 https://padlet.com/kkicklighter1/64z0eku9afppwau2/wish/2459359164 My fourth grade teacher read this to us, one chapter at a time. We hung on her every word, even begged to stay inside during recess to hear more of the story. It tells a fictionalized account of the smuggling of Jewish people from Denmark, and the story has always stuck with me. ]]> 2023-01-27 18:55:28 UTC https://padlet.com/kkicklighter1/64z0eku9afppwau2/wish/2459359164 kkicklighter1 https://padlet.com/kkicklighter1/64z0eku9afppwau2/wish/2459366126 I'm sure all of my kindergarten and first grade teachers know this, but this is one of my favorite books to read aloud to students. It's such an easy way to share that we owe kindness and decency to one another. After all, a person's a person, no matter how small. ]]> 2023-01-27 19:01:48 UTC https://padlet.com/kkicklighter1/64z0eku9afppwau2/wish/2459366126 https://padlet.com/kkicklighter1/64z0eku9afppwau2/wish/2459391240 I took a class called oral Interpretation in Highschool. And this group of Poems are my favorite. I really enjoyed it. ]]> 2023-01-27 19:25:56 UTC https://padlet.com/kkicklighter1/64z0eku9afppwau2/wish/2459391240 https://padlet.com/kkicklighter1/64z0eku9afppwau2/wish/2459425547 Awkward!  I can't remember a single book I read at home as a child except this encycolopedia-style book about dog breeds that I would look in to compare pictures and make wish lists for dogs I wanted to have as pets.  I remember a couple High School books for class: Animal Farm, Iliad & Odyssey, The Scarlet Letter, Light in August, and The Color Purple.  I do remember vividly, however, getting the local Sunday newspaper, The Kokomo Tribune, where I would read all the comics, complete the cross word puzzles, and then read the Parade Magazine.  I was also an active reader of the TV guide!  I completed the crossword puzzle in the back of those each week, too!  Don't feel sorry for me, though!  Once I started teaching, I became a book hoarder of the highest order.  About 7 years into my teaching, I was introduced to books on a leisure level and found a new love!  Now, my TBR stack is ridiculous!]]> 2023-01-27 20:03:48 UTC https://padlet.com/kkicklighter1/64z0eku9afppwau2/wish/2459425547 https://padlet.com/kkicklighter1/64z0eku9afppwau2/wish/2463234526 My most favorite children's book.
