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.
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

Hey Molly - thanks for stopping by my blog. I will check out yours, too, - love the name!
DeleteI 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.

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!
DeleteI wish you could sub for me-summer school has just been exhausting this year! I actually read the Book Whisperer this summer too-she inspired me to even try to read more myself. I love her passion! :)
