I’m a teacher who will be starting an after school literacy club. We will be reading books, and incorporating different literacy skills like vocabulary, comprehension, story elements, etc. into each book we read. Any ideas on some fun names for my club? I’ll have 2 different clubs – one for 2nd and 3rd graders, and one for 4th and 5th graders. I’m having a hard time coming up with anything but “Book Worms” and “Hooked on Books” So if there are any ideas out there please share! Thanks!

I want it to be positive, up-beat, and getting striaght to the core.
Thank you

Under oral tradition, when things were handed down by memory and speech only, the sum of knowledge was small. The invention of writing increased this sum very considerably. Reading completes the importance of writing which it deserves. Books are for us…

Impressing upon your kids the importance of a college education, and the character-building exercise of pitching in with other family members to fund it, can be a good lesson in family and personal values. It’s also part of a trend in recent years toward helping even the little ones become financially responsible – it’s a good habit they will later thank you for helping them cultivate.
According to collegeboard.com, average annual college costs in 2006-07 were $22, 218 for a four-year private school (up 5.9 percent from last year), $5,836 for a four-year public school (up 6.3 percent from last…
