How is everyone doing with March Madness? We've had such a tough winter, that I am wondering why I haven't gone mad yet. I subscribe to Choice Literacy and came across this fun article, which then led me to an entertaining post by Teddy Steinkellner, author of Trash Can Days: A Middle School Saga. in this post, he ranks book characters against each other.

Also, be sure to check out www.choiceliteracy.com, where you'll find a trove of resources for teachers. In case you don't know much about choice literacy, I recommend that you take advantage of their free newsletter, "The Big Fresh".
