Recently, we started a new teacher read-aloud...one of my favorite kid books, Because of Winn Dixie. It's about a 10-year-old girl, abandoned by her mother when she was three, moves to a small town in Florida with her father, a preacher. While there, she adopts a stray dog whom she names after the local supermarket where he was found. With her goofy pooch by her side, she meets an eclectic group of townspeople and rekindles an almost lost relationship with her father. The kids really enjoy the storyline and I plan on showing the movie when we are done! Monday, February 9, 2009
