(Only five weeks until the end of my teaching year, so I'm making my own summer reading list right now.)<BR/><BR/>Also, I really think there should be some sort of law against classrooms w/no windows and bad lighting. I find myself enjoying the classes I teach in those kinds of rooms just a little less because we're so cut off from the outside world. I'm definitely going to borrow the field trip idea in the future!Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09657323487823023425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9799907.post-45569199402717898662007-04-14T09:44:00.000-04:002007-04-14T09:44:00.000-04:00I just love your posts.

I tried to think of the "contemporary nature literature" I've read....hmmm....Annie Dillard (Pilgrim at Tinker Creek, and the one about Sand) and Barbara Kingsolver (Prodigal Summer). Those are the best I can dredge up. I really think I should be in your class. However, I like living where spring is already here, so it's gonna be tough. Guess I'll just have to settle for reading you blog about it! :-)my15minuteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17120108669030817877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9799907.post-30448511965034388772007-04-13T21:33:00.000-04:002007-04-13T21:33:00.000-04:00Oh, I love the photo!
