Beth! Thank-you so much for sharing your amazing creativity in your blog! :) As a literacy coach, I've shared your link as an example of a great resource to classroom teachers. One activity a class that I worked with recently did was collect books they had outgrown at home to distribute to children in need. This was after reading Rylant's Silver Packages and the children decided on how they could be generous without spending money. It was wonderful to witness! Happy holidays and keep up the great work!
