On half-day Fridays, we have Reading Buddies with Ms. Mumford’s kindergarten class. Over these last few weeks we have taken a book they made and turned it into a VoiceThread. We are still working on it, so there will be audio comments on all of the pages within the next few weeks.

Why do you write? January 26, 2007

It’s an odd idea for someone like me to keep a diary; not only because I have never done so before, but because it seems to me that neither I — nor for that matter anyone else — will be interested in the unbosomings of a thirteen-year- old schoolgirl. Still, what does that matter? I want to write, but more than that, I want to bring out all kinds of things that lie buried deep in my heart.”
Yes, there is no doubt that paper is patient and as I don’t intend to show this cardboard-covered notebook, bearing the proud name of “diary,” to anyone, unless I find a real friend, boy or girl, probably nobody cares.”
Where are these quotes from? Saturday, the 2oth of June, 1942 - The Diary of Anne Frank.
The book is now considered one of the key texts of the twentieth century. As of 2004, more than 25 million copies of the book had been sold; the book had also been translated into more than 50 languages.
