 "Thank you for sharing a remarkable website! I loved looking it over today. I could spend hours looking at your valuable information and ideas. One question: Do you have a site for a more recent list of leveled books. The Portland Schools site is wonderful, but I noticed it was dated 2001. I am looking for levels for newer books. Thank you for helping us all become better teachers!","26-12-05","06:55:47 AM -0500" "Kim Stanley", "stanleyk@royaloakschools.com

  Hi! I am a third grade teacher in a small Catholic 
  school in PA. In looking for some great ideas for assessing balanced literacy, 
  I came across "Planting a Literacy Garden". Then, I went to your whole 
  website. It is FABULOUS!!! Your kindergarten must be super! You are an amazing 
  teacher. I would like to ask our primary teachers to start off next year with 
  the theme of the garden and comprehension strategies. Your lists of 
  questioning words, etc. are fantastic. Tomorrow morning, I will be rushing 
  into school to give your web address to others. Thank you, Michele! I will 
  most likely contact you again to ask questions and tell you how we used your 
  ideas for springboards.

 Hi There! I am a third grade teacher and I was searching online for info RE: The Big 
Ideas in science and came upon your page. You have awesome info presented in a 
wonderful manner and I was wondering if you had the same/similar style of 
information for the Big Idea of Evolution and Equilibrium. I have been having a 
tough time finding info on this one.  Thanks so much.

  Ms. Polselli, 
  I really enjoyed your website,
  
  http://literacy-garden.tripod.com/, especially the Planting A Literacy 
  Garden PowerPoint.  I would like to show it at my next Reading Team Teacher 
  strategy and planning meeting.  Could e-mail me a copy of the PowerPoint so 
  that I can share these great ideas with the staff in my district.  Thank you 
  so much for your assistance! 
  Sincerely, 
  ~A. Jane Ault
