Re: [LM_NET] Elmos

I have borrowed the Elmo from our Fifth grade team to do this very thing. The kids 
love it and I really enjoy having the ability to show the smallest details in the 
illustrations to children as I am reading. My first foray was to do cause and 
effect lessons with Ferdinand by Munro Leaf. I have used it numerous times since 
(Day Jimmy's Boa Ate the Wash, Meanwhile Back at the Ranch, etc.) and plan to ask 
for one for the library at the outset of next year's budget. It enables every child 
to see up close and personal and really helps with lessons. However, I still like 
to get down with the kids and read a book on a more personal level, reading just 
for enjoyment of a story with no lesson involved.

Reading is not a duty, and has consequently no business to be made disagreeable.
