Sit Stay Read Best wishes for a joyous 2010 from Sit Stay Read!

Sit Stay Read Can you lend a hand for friends at Rock for Reading? I hear there'll be donuts! Here's the info: Rock for Reading invites everyone to start the new year with a book-sorting event! Help us sort and pack 30,000 donated books on Jan. 2 in Elmhurst. Contact paul@rockforreading.org for more details.

Sit Stay Read Manierre vols, we received this incredibly lovely note from Mrs. McGee (retired teacher) with her holiday card and donation. "I know from experience that your program not only improves reading but improves the love of reading, and writing as well. Please continue with this program because it opens the eyes of a lot of ...students who sometimes are just not motivated to read or write. Love you and your work."

Kara Severson Kennedy & I are VERY excited to work with you to help kids in Chicago read & write and understand dogs just a little bit better this year- THANK YOU!

Sit Stay Read Congratulations to our newest Dog Teams! And many thanks to Judit Arroyo and Betsy Lane for leading them through the practice and test. Photos to come.

Sit Stay Read Holiday notes from our students at Faraday line our front windows! So festive--thanks Mr. Groves!

Jennifer Cristina Personal hilights of the last week: Faraday: Mr. Groves' 3rd graders committing to writing "expository" papers teaching the 2nd graders about their upcoming dog visits; 4th graders (who I've had for 3 years) reciting Frost's "Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening" for me (got a little misty); Lowell: Reading Ms. Cavalle...ry's 3rd graders' new books and receiving awesome thank you cards with a picture of me hand drawn on each one; Hendricks: watching the 4th graders (who I've also had for 3 years) explode when I gave them an official White House Christmas Card signed by Barack and Michelle. I am so lucky to get to spend time with all of these wonderful kids.

Sit Stay Read All the school visits are done for the year--books read, books written, books delivered (thanks to Rock For Reading and Borders!) Everyone's tired but happy. KEEP READING!
