I'm gonna review the kindergarten and first grade benchmarks, make sure she's got them, then work on second grade benchmarks I think. Aaaaand back to good old writing skills, the challenge that never ends and she loves so much. 殺 | My Reading Pets: The Learning Adventures of Ellie and Isabelle | Facebook

Growing up, the Medford Public Library played a big role in my family. My parents encouraged my sister and I to be readers, and my mother joined one of the library's first reading groups. She continued going to lectures and readings there until the end of her life. It means so much to my family that we were able to dedicate the Medford Public Library in honor of my parents, Charlotte and William Bloomberg. | Mike Bloomberg
