Today is a teacher institute day so the students aren't in school. Hopefully they are resting up for ISATs next week! AND, I hope they are doing lots of reading on their day off!
I feel like I've been encouraging kids to choose a book, stick with it and finish it lately. I believe it's okay to abandon a book when you aren't enjoying it, but at the same time it's important to stick with a book and finish it. This week I had started reading Surviving the Applewhites by Stephanie Tolan. I was interested by the story, but at the same time realized that every time I picked it up I wasn't that excited to read it. I decided to put it aside for now and to come back to it another time. Instead, I decided to read Vordak the Incomprehensible: How to Grow Up and Rule the World
and it was hysterical. I'm so glad I switched books but now I'm ready to stay with this book and read all about Vordak.

. It's part of an entire series of autobiographies and I love how the book is written. I'm excited to read more from the series. Happy reading this weekend!!!
