Krista Ramsey

My teacher seemed really excited about her coming to our school to speak so i might as well read up on some of her articles. Krista Ramsey some may know her others may not;Well just in case if your Literary inclined she is a columnist For Cincinnati Enquirer. A recent Article i read which was the link below (\http://www.cincinnati.com/story/opinion/columnists/krista-ramsey/2014/02/08/krista-our-kids-tell-the-story-of-why-preschool-is-a-must/5328181/) it talks about how preschool is important in a child's early education so they can be ready for kinder garden. In my personal experience i can connect to this. My mother told me i went to preschool and what i can remember i think it actually helped. Now as for my little brother he didn't go to preschool;He struggled in kinder garden and now as a first grader he is struggling more to catch up to the other kids even when hes the biggest in his whole class. My mom preached to me ton put my children in preschool and now is see why. This line really stuck out to me because its a good example of why kids should go to preschool "Now she ranks advanced or very advanced on every measure of kindergarten readiness. She can connect letters to sounds. She's doing beginning addition. And she knows how to handle a disappointment, separate easily from her mom or dad every morning, confront a friend who's being mean." Just by going to  preschool young kids like Ashley can accomplish many things that can help them in the future grades.

Now were moving along!

"Sometimes you want to fall on your knees and thank god in heaven for all the poor news reporting that goes on in the world." This is my favorite quote so far in The Secret Life of Bees Lily breaks Rosaleen out of prison and our now trying to go to Tiburon, South Carolina to see if anyone knew here estranged mother.  I'm really starting to like Lily more and disliking Rosaleen; Lily is very strong character in the book she had the courage to run away from her seemingly abusive household and risk her life to save Rosaleen's. They soon Meet the Calender Sisters as everyone in that town calls them due to there names; August the oldest, June the middle then May who had a twin named April but sadly committed suicide when they were younger. I'm getting really engaged into this book and love every word of it.
