Easter eggs


Colored eggs have long been associated with Easter. People hide the eggs for children to find on Easter morning. Some eggs are hollow and filled with bits of paper. Plastic eggs can have candy or small toys inside. Many people give gifts of chocolate eggs for Easter.

Reading from Day 1


This is the poster for my presentation on reading at the TexFLEC conference on April 15 and 16, 2011. I have to thank all my students because, without them, I would have nothing to say. Most of all, I thank them for showing me that reading is possible for everyone.
