New Year's Resolutions AND The Paper Bag Princess

Happy New Year, Sisters! Today we talked about our new year's resolutions and then read the children's book, The Paper Bag Princess (thanks, Ms. Knutson). Several Sisters shared their resolutions. Many wanted to read more, get more exercise and improve their grades. What's your new year's resolution? Please comment!

We also read the fantastic book, The Paper Bag Princess. The main things about the book that jumped out at us were:
* Don't judge someone based on their appearance.
* Keep trying...don't give up.
* Stay true to your beliefs.
* Call a bum a bum.
* Recognize that it takes courage to break pre-conceived expectations and do the right thing.

Any other thoughts, please leave a comment. See you next week, Sisters.
