Currently - July

I finally figured out how to join the rest of the blogging world in a "Currently" post! You can join the party at Farley's site.


I am in a book study group that is discussing The Book Whisperer right now and we are having quite a few a-ha moments.  It seems to be the playbook for our district leadership's team view on our new Communication Arts curriculum (aka - reading). 

The read aloud I chose has been a favorite since I was student teaching (which was a loooong time ago!), and it is entertaining as well as sensible.  You and your students will love it!  Sometimes I Worry....  by Alan Gross is a great read aloud.

  1. I understand the need for som subbing $$ those a/c repairs can be a killer. On the flip side I am glad it is fixed; it's too hot for anyone to be without air. Happy Summer

  3. I just ordered the Book Whisperer from Amazon the other night. I can't wait for it to get here!! (I know, I could have ordered it on Kindle and could have already been reading it, but I really wanted a hard copy of it.) Is there a book study online? I would love to read thoughts about it.

    1. I've noticed that some other bloggers have mentioned the book but not sure about a book study online. Maybe we should start one?? Hope you get as much out of the book as we did!
