100 Days of Joy-Todays Joy brought to you by classes I actually like!

Day 4 - Today my joy was sitting through 8 hours of classes I actually benefited from!
So yeah, this trimester I have Children's Literature/Language Arts and Reading Methods. Both classes are on Saturday so I only have to go to Minneapolis ONCE every other week. Both classes started today and both classes are interesting, relevant and meaningful to me! I'm excited to learn how to teach reading and how to use literature in my classroom :) I LOVE LOVE LOVE books and I love hearing about new books and other people's favorite books, etc. No more DNA or tiny cells or plasma membranes!!! PTL!!

In honor of today's joy I'm including a lengthy list of some of my favorite books :) Check them out!
