Pensieve – A shallow stone basin with odd runes and symbols carved around the edge. A silvery light shines from its contents, which are bright, whitish silver, and cloud-like, moving ceaselessly like light made liquid or like wind made solid. When many thoughts and memories crowd one’s head, one can siphon excess thoughts into the basin. It often becomes easier to spot patterns and links in memories when they are collected in the Pensieve.

The Four Days of Classroom Library Christmas
I bought a bunch of books recently at a Scholastic Book warehouse sale and more with my Scholastic bonus points. I'm going to let the kids open one present a day this week and see what books we're adding to the classroom library. They're going to flip out to see more Diary of a Wimpy Kid, and the complete series of Geronimo Stilton. I probably shouldn't have splurged on books, but hey, these are my kids and I want them to read lots. I dream of a classroom library that covers my entire room, with books everywhere.
