I've just got to share the good stuff I read.

I love to read. I read every chance I get. If I read something really good, I want to share it with my friends and co-workers. I make copies of magazine articles, read aloud to my students, tell others about good books I'm reading, and keep a book with me at all times.

I love teaching and learning new things. I need a place to share some of the lessons and what my students and I learn. Since my teaching situation is different from everyone else's in my school, I would like to tell all of you in the blog-o-sphere about these great lessons.

Feel free to share what you are reading, teaching and learning with us in the comments.

Warwick Castle, Shakespeare's Birthplace, Oxford, & Cotswolds 2024

On Friday, October 4, we joined a tour led by Pablo on a bus driven by Parth.
First stop was Warwick Castle.


The castle had exhibits showing what life was like in medieval times.


This river flowed by the castle, very convenient to the original inhabitants.


I enjoyed sitting and people watching while Martin climbed to walk on the wall.


Next stop - Stratford on Avon.
I had to visit this shop because my maiden name is Thornton.
The owner has written several children's books.
I bought one to share with the grands.


Statue across the square.


Shakespeare's birthplace was still standing.
The gardens were almost finished blooming.


Exterior of the house.


More blooms.


The kitchen.


We drove through the Cotswold countryside on our way to Oxford.


Beautiful rolling hills.


One of the colleges of Oxford.


Courtyard of the Bodlean Library.




















Old tree with parasites growing from cracks in the bark.


Still green leaves in October.


We returned to London and found our way back to our hotel.
