Joan Bauer, an amazing author who provides reflective"food for thought" worthy text within her heart-warming words of wisdom in Hope Was Here, a Newbery Honor Book. Hope Was Here demonstrates
the genuine relationship between Hope, Aunt Addie, Deena, G.T. Scoop,
Braverman, customers of Stairways diner, and the townspeople of
Mulhoney, Wisconsin as they work together to get G.T. Scoop, leukemia
stricken, elected as Mayer. Hope is on another journey with Aunt Addie,
and together they discover their new home, life, and enduring love that
centers around "hope and perseverance." http://www.joanbauer.com/
"The one doing the thinking is the one doing the learning" is a phrase I impart to my students. I consistently remind my students that thinking empowers their capability and drive to succeed. "Knowledge is Power,"(Francis Bacon) with that power comes ownership, acceptance, responsibility, courage, perseverance, gratitude, respect, and assimilation of productive outcomes.
