Anywho, I LOVE Farley's Currently and her new rule of 3 is a keeper! I love the idea of showing the love to other bloggers and meeting new bloggy friends to
So I am pumped for my new role as an Instructional Facilitator, but dang its now JULY I have got to get my learn on!!! (insert anxious face here!)
My go to read aloud every year is Stone Fox. It is an amazing story of Little Willie who lives with his grandfather and his dog Searchlight. Grandfather hasn't paid his taxes and Willie enters a dogsled race to try and win $500 to save the farm. It is a short read, it should be on your list :D
My professional book that I re-read EVERY summer is Guiding Readers and Writers by Fountas and Pinnell. When I first decided to move into the Reading Workshop framework over 5 years ago, I found this laying around my school and took it home over the summer. It changed my whole reading program in my classroom. I find that with each new summer I find something else I can change or tweak.
I'm off to complete the rule of 3! Hope everyone is staying cool :)
I am so excited to find your blog! I am a 5th grade teacher from Missouri. My sister just had a baby and her name is Elisabeth as well.

DeleteHaywood~ Just so you know I love your blog! I am reading my way through GRandW as soon as I finish up The Daily 5. I am sure we will need to have book club over the summer... and fall and winter to discuss such items. I am still holding First 5 Days for ransom! R
ReplyDeleteHurry up and finish Daily Five so I can borrow! I am not buying one until I see if my lovely NEW school has one for me :D We will be having extended book clubs all year! I am going to miss you incredibly, words can't even describe :(
ReplyDeleteThose are two of my favorite books too! I read Stone Fox to my third graders every year, and it gets to me every time. I was reading your "About Me" post and saw that you went to ASU for your master's. I am currently going there (online) for my master's in instructional technology. I love Boone!
ReplyDeleteLove your blog!
