I am writing to let you know that the members of the
RTEACHER listserv have awarded you “The Miss Rumphius
Award.” We present this award for your impressive
ideas for how to use a weblog to support classroom
literacy at your Edinger House blog site at
http://blogs.dalton.org/edinger/
Members of the RTEACHER listserv present the Miss
Rumphius Award to educators who develop and share
exceptional Internet resources for literacy and
learning. It honors teachers who make our world a
more beautiful place, like the title character in the
book Miss Rumphius by Barbara Cooney. Because Miss
Rumphius scattered lupine seeds wherever she went, we
use this flower as the symbol for our award. For more
information about the Miss Rumphius Award, you can
