[LIT] How should I spend this money?

[Heather Poland]

Thanks for all the suggestions! I think I will go with library books. That
feels right. I shop at a local bookstore that is run by former teachers. It
is a GREAT store. They actually have a website and you can order from it.
Teachers get I think it's 25% but it might be 20% off all the time. They
have leveled sets, author sets, etc. And whenever I go I just have to ask
them what they suggest for a certain type of student, and they know what to
show me! They are great.

I'll also look at Scholastic for the books, but I haven't seen the ones I
want recently.

"The world of books is the most remarkable creation of
man. Nothing else that he builds ever lasts. Monuments
fall; nations perish; civilizations grow old and die out;
new races build others. But in the world of books are
volumes that have seen this happen again and again and yet
live on. Still young, still as fresh as the day they were
written, still telling men's hearts of the hearts of men
centuries dead." --Clarence Day

"While the rhetoric is highly effective, remarkably little
good evidence exists that there's any educational substance
behind the accountability and testing movement."
—Peter Sacks, Standardized Minds

"When our children fail competency tests the schools lose
funding. When our missiles fail tests, we increase
funding. "
—Dennis Kucinich, Democratic Presidential Candidate
