Education Reading

Having taken a position at Lima Christian School for the coming year (yay! health insurance) I am doing my due diligence reading books about education philosophy. Doing this lets me 1) ponder my purposes as a teacher 2) avoid my due diligence reading on the childbirth process, which makes me squeamish whenever I think about it. I've checked out a couple of Neil Postman books about education and will probably re-read Abolition of Man. Any recommendations on the subject (of education, not childbirth) are welcome in the comments section.

I'm also currently reading Les Miserables, Livy, Iliad 6, I Corinthians, the Summa Contra, Bede, and the Apologia. I've been working on a blog about the parketos clause in Matthew 5 for over a week, and am officially stalled out. My trumpet practicing is also feeling a bit stalled out. Any recommendations are welcome in the comments section.

We enjoyed a visit with J's parents over the weekend. They, with her grandparents, bought us a crib. It is now assembled in the nursery, next to some children's books I picked up yesterday with M. We found Curious George, some Richard Scarry books, Hop on Pop, and the Velveteen Rabbit. There are many more to go! J and I came up with these others which we would like to find:

The Poky Little Puppy, Chicka Chicka Boom Boom, The Mitten, Frog and Toad, Oliver Pig, Morris the Moose, The Story of Ping, If You Give a Mouse a Cookie, The Little Red Hen, Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, Freight Train, Are You My Mother, Go Dogs Go, Harold and the Purple Crayon, Blueberries for Sal, the rest of the Seuss works, Where the Wild Things Are, Pierre and the other Sendak books...

Any necessary additions (pre reading age) please list in the comments!
