On Thursday night Aaron encouraged me by going with me to my school's Family Reading Night. We had two cars full of the families of my ESL students (I knew they really wanted to go, but it's hard when they don't have transportation!). We had a good turnout- about 3/4 of the ELL students were there. The kids loved it, and it was good for me and Aaron to get to know the families better. They served a spaghetti dinner, read lots of stories, and opened the bookfair. We hope these kids get the message that reading is important!Stanlyn and Jovina came from a Liberian refugee camp last spring. They are so sweet! All the kids wore their pajamas to get them in the mood for bedtime stories.

Rosa and Maria are from Mexico...close to where Peepaw is from. I really enjoy teaching them.
