Martin Luther King Junior Park Waterbury, CT-
This park is surrounded on two sides by very busy city streets so there is a lot of traffic noise and unrest. And, as I was walking up to take these pictures, a man and a woman at the park were screaming obscenities at each other and the man swung, cussed and hit a park sign with a metal pole that he just happened to be holding. I got back in my car quickly and went to the next park on my list. I wish I had better things to say about this park.
"...the child should have a set time everyday to read for fun. Begin with half an hour for first graders, and build up to an hour of reading time daily... This is an important part of the child's education: it improves his reading skills, teaches him the habit of sitting still with a book, and reminds him that reading is fun... free reading ought to be spent on literature at or slightly below the child's present reading level so that he can simply enjoy himself. The easier reading will help him increase his speed." The Well Trained Mind: The Guide to Classical Education at Home by Jessie Wise and Susan Wise Bauer
