Curling up with Charlotte's Web

There has been no greater pleasure over the past few weeks than curling up with literally one of the most charming, poignant, sweet, and true stories ever written. I read it as a kid (didn't we all), but reading it as an adult has been such a different experience. I catch myself smiling as I read about dear Wilbur and the lovely Charlotte. Man, this book is really getting to me!

So yes, it is Saturday and I should be out doing more exciting things. But honestly, this book is such a pleasure that planning it is easy. My kids have been digging in in class, too. They are exploring big themes and ideas, and I think they are feeling my passion for the story, too. Will post the chart that we made together next week!

As Charlotte says, "never hurry and never worry!" Hey, at least that's appropriate for Saturday.
