I didn't come from a family that had a lot of money but I was raised to hold my head up and never feel like I was less than anyone else.

I have never heard of it before, but I plan on ordering the book for my own personal library. I intend on using the book for my students as well as my own children. It's always good to reinforce the lesson that material things don't define you, but what really counts is having love and having respect for others.

It sounds like a great book to use in the beginning of the year to help students understand that each child comes from a different background. I know where I used to teach money was tight for a lot of families but then you had a few students whose families were doing quite well. Sometimes the students who were a little better off would ask why another student often wore the same clothes each week and this book sounds like it would be a great resource to explain money on a child's level. This book would enhance a lesson we teach each year about wants and needs since students often have difficulties understand why a DS or PSP is not a "need". Thanks for sharing this book! Do you use this book in your classroom? If so how do you incorporate it?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8680473681725784031.post-18351094030040677582011-11-09T18:37:18.346-08:002011-11-09T18:37:18.346-08:00This is one of my favorite quotes as well.

I have it posted in my classroom, right next to my poem about snow days. ;)<br /><br />Here is a copy of it...<br /><br />A Teacher's Snow Prayer<br /><br />Oh, Lord, let it snow. <br />Let it drift and let it blow.<br />In the morning, no real fuss,<br />Just enough to stop the bus.<br /><br />Enough to make the County say:<br />"There will be no school today."<br />Let the radio report: "Snow's deep!"<br />And I'll roll over for more sleep.<br /><br />Then later on, say maybe ten,<br />I'll turn the radio on again.<br />Just in time to hear them say:<br />"It's strange; the snow has gone away!"<br /><br />And then I'll know, You made it stop,<br />So I can go to the mall and shop.<br />Please, Lord, just hear my teacher's plea,<br />And make it snow for the kids and me!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8680473681725784031.post-89675690706166880422011-11-09T16:02:52.311-08:002011-11-09T16:02:52.311-08:00Stacy - I love the quote - Who said it?Stacy - I love the quote - Who said it?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
