New Thing

Hey all--

Blogger has a new feature that integrates polls into the blog. I thought we could give it a shot, although I'm already not liking it as much because it does not support linkage.

Just a try.

Red Hair’s Not as Uncommon as You Think

Hey all--

As some of you may know, I am returning to the classroom RIGHT NOW. Sadly, I got rid of many of my classroom library books and am now down to these 85 books. I had over 300 at one point.

Any suggestions?

I'm building this for 6th, 7th & 8th grade; what were YOUR favorite books then?

When I was 11-13, I read a lot of Zilpha Keatley Snyder, Diana Wynne Jones and Robin McKinley. How about you?

Thief!

August's book is The Book Thief. I've read it and encourage you all to get started; it is not short.

Yay for all the participation last month!
