Our Summer Reading Program, with the above theme, began two weeks ago. The children have shown their own strength, ability to memorize and to identify items by touch, as we've done some fun testing with them.
On June 15, Christine Cunningham of the Homer Emporium talked to the children about the joys and trials of running a store in a small town. She talked about the trips they make to buy all the different varieties of pop ("tonic" where she and I grew up).
Wednesday, June 22, John Rouse will share with the children his experiences being a small town cop. On June 29, Tara Holloman will talk about the months she spent in Afghanistan, helping those people rebuild their country.
There are several kinds of superheroes. Fictional ones of books and movies stretch our imaginations. Real ones who put their lives on the line, or put themselves at risk in other ways, and move out of their comfort zones, make our lives safer, richer and more enjoyable.
