Is it possible to offer a preschool story time in the afternoon for morning-based preschoolers? I know several people who would be interested in this. thanks!
“First they came …” is a popular poem attributed to Pastor Martin Niemöller (1892–1984) about the inactivity of German intellectuals following the Nazi rise to power and the purging of their chosen targets, group after group. In Niemöller’s first utterance of it, in a January 6, 1946 speech before representatives of the Confessing Church in Frankfurt, it went (in German):[1]
“THEY CAME FIRST for the Communists,
and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Communist.
THEN THEY CAME for the Jews,
and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Jew.
THEN THEY CAME for the trade unionists,
and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a trade unionist.
THEN THEY CAME for the Catholics,
and I didn’t speak up because I was a Protestant.
THEN THEY CAME for me
and by that time no one was left to speak up.”
Iam sorry I missed commenting on the 2 books I read for the book club because I was away. THE CENTER of EVERYTHING. about a young girl was rather sad in a way. It was an insight into her very restricted life experience. She was a noble child but I did wish better for her.
THE Guernsey Literary—Soc. was very interesting. About the English people during WW11 and how the dealt with their situation during occupation by the Germans. I really enjoyed this book and learned a lot about the Ilse of Guernsey. They were a “plucky” people.
THE LAST DAYS of DOGTOWN I found to be depressing and uninteresting so after several chapters I gave up and read something else. I read THE CLOSERS by Michael Connelly. It was really good if you enjoy mystery.
Really enjoying the morning book club’s August read, A Walk in the Woods. Laugh-out-loud funny. I might actually finish the book for a change I’ve even requested Bear Attacks: Their Casues and Avoidance by Stephen Herrero.
I’m gonna pass this one along to my friend – she’s gonna realy like this one – thanks again!

I do exactly the same thing. I don’t blame you for not commenting if you think you’re not going to add something new to the discussion.
Sarah’s Key reminded me of a poem . . .
