Thanks for taking us out past the playground into the warm, dim, shadowy woods so we could drink our cartons of milk on a carpet of pine needles while you read to us about The Little Red Hen. I really liked it.
Read the rest of my latest for The Catholic Weekly.

As a teacher, thanks for that!
Also, as a teacher, a couple of thank-you gifts I really appreciated:
1. Anything really, truly, actually made by your kid, whether it be a picture, a card, or some weird craft. I treasured for years a Sculpey figurine of a Canada Goose a little girl made me because she knew I was Canadian. (I would still, except that it went missing in a move over the years.)
2. A really nice automatic pencil. Because you can never have too many automatic pencils.
