Schools with Spirit

Linda Lantieri has done it again. A book that all educators must read, I am only about half way into it. I like it even better than Waging Peace in Our Schools. I have worked with Linda Lantieri and I can hear her voice. She is one of the most spirited people that I know. I needed to read this book when I did. It helped me to do the inner work that we as teachers need to do. Just last week I was asked are leprechauns real? I talked about legends with this child, as a story being handed down from previous generations. Are these stories real or imagined? Thank you Linda and everyone else who contributed to Schools with Spirit.
