[Reading-hall-of-fame] [Fwd: Donald Graves]

[Yetta Goodman]

I received this note from Lois Bridges.  
I want to celebrate and support Don's contributions to education for 
children by highlighting the progressive curriculum he envisioned for 
all children.
Enough with testing and standards!!   Let's celebrate a curriculum that 
engages children in their own learning, discovering their own 
imagination and posing and answering their own questions.

Dear Friends,

I just talked with Betty Graves... our beloved Don passed away peacefully yesterday afternoon from pneumonia at home with family by his side.
A memorial service is planned Saturday, October 16th, at a public school in Portland, ME. with a beautiful view of the ocean (but those details may change...
I'll let you know of shifting plans as I learn of them).

Betty sounded strong... she's surrounded by their five children and extended family.
