paper pencils

i went today with my friends meredith and tracy to help get tracy's classroom ready for her school year.  she teaches reading at a middle school.  a really 1920's looking school with remnants of ghosts and the movie a christmas story. 

coming from a long tradition of helping my mom set up her classroom for school, this was great fun for me.  it was a morning of going through numerous copies of hatchet and other newberry award winners.  we found several dusty copies of babysitter's club books (special adventure series).

i think a particularly sad note was realizing that all the old books about the solar system would have to be disposed of because of poor pathetic pluto.  

sorry pluto...nobody blames you.
