I've read both numerous times but never made the connection. Way to go Molly!!<br /><br />There is so much here in your Sunday posts that I love. You have such an enthusiasm for life in general even though your days are completely filled. I find these Sunday Salon posts inspirational. So, thanks for that. I'm looking forward to the photography book reviews but don't hurry. If we get them this summer, that's fine.Margothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07422981969760935118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7736127069847988207.post-25781087647082855272011-02-03T10:21:41.540-06:002011-02-03T10:21:41.540-06:00Book Drum - I signed up last week to be a contribu...Book Drum - I signed up last week to be a contributor. My pick - East of Eden. You would be an amazing contributor. Maybe you could try it in the summer time when you have a little extra time. Book Drum is going to be/is a wonderful resource for teachers.<br /><br />I like your idea of Teaching Tuesdays etc. although your long Sunday post is great too. You could write it all on Sunday to save time, then schedule your posts for the week.Breehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01289499533606873690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7736127069847988207.post-87986918260699627552011-02-01T21:18:30.038-06:002011-02-01T21:18:30.038-06:00Molly, I enjoy knowing each Sunday I can turn my c...Molly, I enjoy knowing each Sunday I can turn my computer on and find an enjoyable, informative read come mid-afternoon. Whatever and whenever you find time to post, I will be a happy camper. <br /><br />I enjoyed your comparisons of Little Women and Pride and Prejudice. I hadn't made those connections before. I love Little Women, but, I always feel I want to know more about Meg. <br /><br />We are in the midst of the blizzard with a fierce wind howling.

I'm just starting to step into Art Journaling, but it has been in the back of my mind for quite a while. Today I decided just to dive in! I also tend to read a lot of books about subjects that interest me instead of just trying it. It's my way of procrastinating - at least a very nice and enjoyable one!Carola Bartzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05536486322412234854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7736127069847988207.post-78050692662287464442011-01-30T21:16:22.831-06:002011-01-30T21:16:22.831-06:00I love how you mention that you also learn from yo...I love how you mention that you also learn from your students! I was always too intimidated to go into teaching--feeling too underprepared (how can I know everything!!), but I never thought about the fact that we (me and students) could teach each other--love that idea!<br /><br />I'm not familiar enough with P&P to compare the two, but I watched the Anne of Green Gables series last week and noticed many similarities between AoGG and LW. <br /><br />Hope you have a lovely week. I suspect we'll get some of your cold but on Tuesday--supposed to dip into the 20s. Seems unfair after being so gorgeous this weekend!Trish @ Love, Laughter, Insanityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17225576485797030511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7736127069847988207.post-71010963457937177932011-01-30T17:59:55.077-06:002011-01-30T17:59:55.077-06:00A section a day would be great fun!!!

Your projects are fabulous!<br /><br />I love hearing all about your various projects...photography, writing, etc.<br /><br />And I agree with you that Little Women is a big preachy at times...I didn't realize until I reread it in adulthood how true that was. I had never thought about the similarities to Pride & Prejudice, but now that you mention it...I need to reread P & P.<br /><br />Here's my <a href="http://accidentalmoments.wordpress.com/2011/01/30/the-sunday-salon-jan-30/" rel="nofollow">SUNDAY SALON</a>Laurel-Rain Snowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00101090217639410913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7736127069847988207.post-84453328099676733262011-01-30T15:26:14.643-06:002011-01-30T15:26:14.643-06:00You're so focused Molly!

Of course, since I'm neck high in research papers and essays that I cringed for you. I hope those 8-10 pages won't come in at the 100+ student range? I'm kicking myself for all of this reading, but after last year's scores on editing and writing, I vowed to hit it more this year. It shouldn't take me so long, but I honestly have felt bullied by the paperwork! The pile is shrinking, and I've just had to deal with it, but it still gives me hives. LOL. <br /><br />Well, good luck with everything! I hope the snow leaves you all alone for a bit. :)Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13615570638950821876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7736127069847988207.post-48348985756575484892011-01-30T15:21:35.835-06:002011-01-30T15:21:35.835-06:00You seem like such a phenomenal teacher!

You sound amazing and so in love with the classroom.<br /><br />I think your idea for weekly post themes sound wonderful. Do what works for you though...it is your own little creative space. I will come visit and read whatever you happen to write. :)<br /><br />Have a great day. OH, and I am jealous of your snow. We were supposed to have a stormy la nina winter here this year. But so far? January has been wet,and drizzly and gray, interspersed with stretches of mixed sunny/cloudy days with temps reaching into the unseasonably high range of 50! While I don't always mind that, I did kind of wish for a real winter this year. :(<br />*smiles* Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13029664492284742183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7736127069847988207.post-86233670820340277122011-01-30T11:01:10.304-06:002011-01-30T11:01:10.304-06:00So many great things here, Molly!

It is always such a pleasure to read about your teaching experience - you clearly love it and the kids do, too!<br /><br />I'm a huge, long-time fan of Keri Smith - so fun to see her show up here.
