Beautiful anecdote from author Kate DiCamillo that reminds us of the impact that teachers (and good stories!) have on children's lives!
I signed for a package last week.
The delivery guy said, “DiCamillo?”
I said, “Yes.”
“Wait,” he said. “Did you write Because of Winn-Dixie?”
“I did.”
“Oh, wow,” he said. “My third grade teacher read that book to us. I’ll never forget it.”
And then he smiled at me—this radiant, beautiful smile—and I suddenly saw him as an eight-year old kid, sitting in class, listening to a story.
That man’s third-grade teacher is out there somewhere, and I wanted to let her know this: he remembers. He remembers you reading to him.
Happy New Year.
! This clever thread spool puzzle is a great way to show your friends that you care!

In this week's video from NeuLingo - Chinese Mandarin Learning, Joe and Joyce teach a unique way to tell someone you're impressed with them in Chinese slang! In American English, the number "666" is associated with dark and evil, but in Mandarin Chinese, it sounds the same as a phrase that means 'smooth going' or 'amazing job' and people use the two interchangeably.
