Let's Try This Again

I started this blog three school years ago at the end of the 2007-2008 school year.  I've tried since then to make it more and more useful for my students, their parents, and other teachers.  I just go back from maternity leave and getting my blog going again is one of my top priorities!

If I have to leave this beautiful baby, then I'm glad I get to go back to great schools with hard-working colleagues and my awesome students!  It has been so great to see everyone and to start reading with students and to start talking books! I love it!
We've been doing lots of reading at our house all summer and I have some fun books I can't wait to share with my students.  I will be posting books that I'm reading and that my students are reading every Friday!  This summer we read so many Thomas the Train books I couldn't even begin to count them.  Those are definitely Jordan's favorite right now.  He knows exactly where they are in the library and that's where he goes first thing!

Every month I am hoping to interview the Reader of the Month and talk to him or her about where he or she likes to read, what genres he or she likes and other fun book-ish questions.  I, personally, love to read anywhere and anytime!  I always have a book with me and find any excuse to read!
Even after four years of working on this blog, it still excites me and I still believe it is a great way to share my love of reading with my students and their families!  I hope this time my students and parents join me in the celebration!
