My brain is full

And so is my stomach. That Marc Aronson guy really makes you think. Today I had the pleasure of watching his presentation to the entire subfreshman class, and then later to the American History Seminar and the Social Advocacy students. The subbies read several chapters from his book Race: A History Beyond Black and White, then wrote him letters with their questions. The two hours he spent with them went by very quickly - so much good discussion! In the middle of the day, the whole school adjourned to the Culture Fair, where there was lots of good food to choose from.

Mr. Aronson was here as part of the College of Education Youth Literature Festival. Here are a few photos from the day.

I wish I could have come to the culture fair.... That was one of my top ten favorite things of the year (last year), I think.

How awesome that your school and community celebrates literature and gives it a louder voice during the festival.
