This week is Read Across America week, due to this Saturday being Dr. Seuss' birthday. Today, two of my 3rd graders stopped me in the hall, and demanded that I watch them sang a song they will sing for their "Grandfriends" on Friday. Yes, apparently now even the word "Grandparents" is politically incorrect. Excuse me while I resist the urge to rant about how sensitive people are these days...we call Halloween "Autumn Festival", Christmas "Winter Festival", etc, etc. The other day I was doing some yoga moves with my 3rd grade students to get them moving, and one student piped up and said, "Yoga is against my religion!" But I digress. Back to those singing 3rd graders. I don't remember the exact lyrics of the song, but I remember a couple:
"Read across America...
From sea to shining sea...
Reading is really cool...
Exercise your mind..."
The point is that in that one moment, I got so caught up in their excitement. During a tough day, I was completely lifted up by these little people who knew exactly what was important to focus on.
