Silent Reading Day

Today is silent reading day, and except for a few sparse whispers, sniffling noses, and turning pages, everyone is cooperating. Treats tomorrow. This was the best behavior for SSR that I have seen in a long time!

Silence is so important to have on occassion. I know that it can make us uncomfortable, but it helps to be actively thinking and doing in our minds what we too often do with our mouths!

This is just to say
that I appreciate the silence
which you bestowed on me today.

Tomorrow will be another
boisterous and talkative day
and I will appreciate that as well.

But in the meantime,
the lack of noise is golden.


Thank you.
