Ashley’s comments from the Teaching and Learning group.

my favorite fictional character was between two. Jasmin from aladdan and ariel from a little mermaid. i loved how they loved to go on adventures. they both were also trying to find true love. i just thought they were fun and as a kid i loved seeing how they went against what their parents said because they knew things had to change.

there is not just one book that is my favorite but a series of novels. i love reading the james patterson mysterys. i fell out of reading for awhile and then someone introduced me to his series and i fell right back into reading. i love mysteries and his are really good and admire his way of writing. i read a child called "it" and it was really good. it made me cry and realize how good my life is. but im not much for sad books. but i agree it is a book to admire.

i have learned so many lessons from novels i have read. alot are the same as the people on this page. like to never give up, live everyday to the fullest, and to stand up to what you believe in. one i remember the most is to watch what you wish for. you might already have what you are looking for right in front of you.

i remember reading this postman book. it was so fun. every page the postman visited someone and he wrote them a letter. i also remember reading james and the giant peach. i remember that because my teacher that read it would do different voices for each character plus we got to see the movie. i also read some of the same books as others on this page like the little red hen and amber brown and the give a mouse a cookie books. my kids really enjoy the mouse and cookie collection.

my name is ashley lidwin. i am 20 years old. i am currently at cerritos but i will be transfering to cal state long beach this fall. im so excited. im am trhe youngest of three with the other two being brothers. i have always loved to read as a kid and now i enjoy reading to kids. i love seeing how excited they get while i read the story.

i agree with many of my fellow students. this can be a place where kids can go to discuss books as well as teachers. this is a way kids can ask their teachers questions about their reading assignment or can make a request for a teachers library. teachers are also able to see what their children enjoy and can make lesson plans based on the children's intrest. I know if someone tells me a book is really good it makes me open my eyes to reading that book more.
