Thanks for pointing me at these lists, and now of course I have to start making my own (which won't be too hard, since I've featured many of them already on my blog). But you're right, it's probably time to refresh my list of necessaries. Most of all I love how you've condensed what you hope children will take away from each picture book experience. I look forward to checking all these out, literally!<br /><br />P.S. What's your new position? <br />P.P.S. I'm here at school this week trying to finish moving into my grand new K classroom before official preservice...and this morning, after setting up furniture and laying out rugs, I came in to find that during a heavy rainstorm, my floor-level air conditioning unit has served as an overflow gutter and poured water--I mean INCHES of water all over the floor. Rugs are soaked, furniture is back in a disorganized clump and I might as well post. *sigh*Heidi Mordhorsthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09902158336083356337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20429083.post-36190386370643012152012-08-10T08:45:15.336-04:002012-08-10T08:45:15.336-04:00Thanks for the list.
