Author, Jonathan Rand, shared his passion for reading and writing with all of us today. He said, "Reading and writing are skills that can help you do anything." He also said, "Reading is not something that you do; it's a place that you go." With that, he encouraged us to expand our knowledge by reading a variety of materials in order to gain many different experiences. He said that we should look at books not as things but as adventures when he stated, "Books don't have covers, they have doors." He also reminded us that reading costs a lot less than a vacation. Finally, he encouraged us to use our "magic wand" (pencil) in order to capture our creative ideas on paper. His inspiration generated some interesting classroom discussion and storytelling afterward.
