Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday of November 14 (10-15 minutes every day)
This week I read my daily Wichita Eagle and the story that caught my attention this week was about Wichita considering closing five elementary schools, “in favor of larger schools that draw students from areas well beyond their current boundaries” (Tobias, 2011). The idea is that the smaller schools would close and bigger schools would be “expanded.” Currently, it is just a proposal that the school board is considering with many parents concerned about their children not being able to attend their neighborhood school.

A friend gave me her People magazine after she finished reading it. I really enjoyed the article about Gabrielle Giffords. She has an inspiring story of persevering and hope and she kind of makes me want to get out and do something.

Didn’t get to read as much of Jane Eyre as I would have liked, and when I was at the bookstore I saw the movie on the shelf so I have to get on the ball. Hopefully, with Thanksgiving I can get a bit more reading in. Jane is still at her aunt’s house with the sisters Eliza and Georgiana and they are awful. Her aunt has not died yet and I am not sure where things are going to go from here.
