Pollyanna Our Latest Read Aloud

The girls and I have just finished Pollyanna by: Eleanor H. Porter. This story is about an orphan girl that has been sent to live with her Aunt Polly after her father, (who had been caring for her after her mothers death) dies and she is left with no one else to care for her. Despite her misfortune, she manages to always find "gladness" in everything. Pollyanna quickly turns the town of Harrington into "Glad" Town!
After the girls and I read the book, we borrowed the Walt Disney version of the movie starring Haley Mills from the library. We popped some popcorn and broke out a box of tissues!
A must read and see classic!

Stay tune for our next read aloud, Around The World in Eighty Days! This read aloud will work well with our history unit on the Explorers!
