Needs Vs. Wants

I know it's been a long time since my last post, but since my last post I found out I'm pregnant!  My first trimester was full of normal pregnancy stuff...morning sickness and extreme tiredness.  I am hoping I don't take that long for my next post.

Last week I was reading a book and it was describing some of our basic needs.  We covered this in class at the beginning of fall, so I stopped and asked my class "What are some other things we need?"  One of my little girls raised her hand and when I called on her she said, "We need to learn to read because you said we can't have any jobs if we don't learn to read!" She did not list one of the basic needs we had discussed in class, but I did tell them you have to be able to read to have a job.
