I am slowly making my way through the Golden Sower list this summer.  I know...its almost the end of the July.  School starts in like three weeks...but Golden Sowers have not been top priority this summer for me.  Not sure why.  Of course I still have three I didn't read from last year's list as well.  Maybe I get to them, maybe I don't

In the middle of Prisoner B-3087 by Alan Gratz.  Pretty amazing account.  Pretty sad account.

Had the library opened today for students to check out books this summer.  I have one more week to be open.  I will be reflecting about what I thought about this little summer project starting next week.

July 15-19

So I have been busy reading!!!  Here's the list for July 15-19
*Smile by Raina Telgemeier
*Star Wars Jedi Academy by Jeffrey Brown
*The City of Ember (GN) by Jeanne DuPrau
*The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian by Sherman Alexie
*Kindred Souls by Patricia MacLachlan
*Kung Pow Chicken: Let's Get Cracking by Cyndi Marko
*Kung Pow Chicken: Bok! Bok! Boom! by Cyndi Marko

Time on the porch reading has been great!  The weather has been so unusual for July.

A new idea for the library is brewing. It has something to do with these:

A little project happening this year in the library

@vogtteacherlib: #bookaday July 10 These little gems came with the Tandem Bike Poets that I learned from and met tonight. These little books will be showing up in the library this year. Prep--what are you the expert of students and staff?

July 4th

#bookaday July 4: I had a fantastic reading morning. Graphic Novels - Chickenhare, Missle Mouse, The Silversix, MS Worse than Meatloaf & Eighth Grade is Making Me Sick. Not to mention I also read half of another Sookie Stackhouse book. Happy 4th of July!

It was truly a relaxing morning with great results that affect my students. They have loved these graphic novels and now I know what to suggest and how to suggest them.

Been thinking a lot about how I am going to use what I have done this summer with students. More on this to come but I am also working out how to use "Reading in the Wild" and "Book Love" as a part of what I do on a daily basis with kids.

June 27-July 3

June 27-July 1:  Continued a new series that I bought for my students at the library.

#bookaday July 2-3 Mal and Chad Series feels a little like Calvin and Hobbs but lovable. 

So my total at this point of amount of books read this summer is roughly 55. That's how many I read all school year last year!  I have a pile at home waiting for me. 

Here's the funny thing about all this...every time I go into my library or the public library I walk out with 5-8 books.
